Happy Nelson Mandela Day

Mr Mandela became South Africa’s first democratically elected president in 1994. As a champion of reconciliation, he was instrumental in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which was set up by South Africa’s Government of National Unity to help deal with the atrocities of apartheid.

Before his presidency, Mandela was heavily involved in anti-apartheid activities. He served 27 years in prison, many of which were spent with other sentenced freedom fighters.

While officially retired, he continued to voice his opinion on topical humanitarian issues and campaigns globally for peace, children and the fight against HIV and AIDS.

Government calls on all South Africans to contribute to the social and economic security of Africans, by living the values of our Constitution that provide for the rights of all people living in our country and affirms democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom for all.

 
Nelson Mandela Day Goals 2019-2029:

• Education and Literacy

• Food and Nutrition

• Shelter

• Sanitation

• Active Citizenship

The theme for 2022 is "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

A global movement for positive change begins with small actions. As each person acts, they fuel momentum toward positive change, raising awareness and expanding the reach of Mr Mandela’s values – fighting injustice, helping people in need and practising reconciliation.
