Madiba Legacy Alive

Every year on July 18th, a global celebration takes place to honor the legacy of the iconic liberation struggle hero and the first black democratically elected President of South Africa, Mr. Nelson Mandela (affectionately known as Tata Madiba). This day was officially declared by the United Nations General Assembly as Nelson Mandela International Day in 2009.

The donated items, handed over by the Officer Commanding of SAMHS HQ Unit, Colonel Nomonde Maswanganye, and representatives, were well received with immense joy and appreciation from the members of the center.

As Nelson Mandela once said, "There can be no greater gift than that of giving one’s time and energy to helping others without expecting anything in return."
