Mandela Day 2018 Lock In Your Heart At Woodrock

If you're looking to do something for the fur babies this year, come "lock in your heart" at Woodrock. To ensure that the legacy of Tata Madiba lives on for generations to come, we have to ensure that all life is treated with respect and love – and this includes animals. To pledge your commitment to animal welfare, you can purchase a padlock for R67 and secure it to the Woodrock Animal Rescue fence at the entrance to their shelter, known as the “Bridge of Commitment to Animals”. Taking the key home with you will also serve as a reminder of the animals that depend on us for their lives.

Nelson Mandela Foundation's #ActionAgainstPoverty Initiative

Nelson Mandela saw himself as a servant of the people of South Africa, and he set an example fit for every human being to follow. As the custodians of his legacy, The Nelson Mandela Foundation calls on all South Africans to "make every day a Mandela Day" and, in doing so, believes that together we can eradicate the poverty that is ravaging our land. Their call is simple: "In the spirit of Madiba and his vision to spread social justice and freedom for all, this is your chance to become part of a continuous global movement for good. Let us all emulate the servant leader we loved by becoming servant leaders ourselves – Madiba change-makers." This Mandela Day – and the other 364 days of the year, they urge you to fight poverty through action and make it a movement by uploading your photos using the hashtag #ActionAgainstPoverty
