Every year on 18 July, South Africans celebrate Mandela Day by giving 67 minutes of their time to help others. Why 67 minutes? It represents the 67 years Nelson Mandela dedicated to fighting for justice, equality, and making South Africa a better place. It's a reminder that each of us has the power to make a difference—no matter how small the act. Whether it's donating food, visiting an elderly neighbor, cleaning up your community, reading to children, or simply lending a helping hand, every minute counts. 💚 This week, we'd love to hear from you: How will you spend your 67 minutes? Share your ideas or photos in the comments and let's inspire one another to spread a little more kindness. Because when South Africans come together, amazing things happen.
