We are moving away from just doing good. Our #MandelaDay efforts must be sustainable. Issues of justice must be rooted in Mandela Day. - Sello Hatang at the launch of #MandelaDay in Braamfontein, Johannesburg today.


We have a major crisis in terms of food security. It's abnormal for people to go to bed hungry. We must make sure no child is humiliated by poverty. - Sello Hatang #MandelaDay #Mandela10

The world is burdened. It is carrying a heavy load. We are reminding everyone that the legacy of Nelson Mandela lives on but it is in our hands to destroy cycles of inequality and poverty. - Sello Hatang #MandelaDay #Mandela10

Climate change impacts food insecurity. What we are doing for #MandelaDay is very simple. As the sun rises on 18 July in New Zealand and crosses over the world for 24 hours we want people to plant trees and home-based gardens. - Gushwell Brooks #MandelaDay #Mandela10


There are three things that will happen through our actions this #MandelaDay: - we will be combating climate change, - we will be beautifying and greening our environments and - we will be providing nutrition - Gushwell Brooks #Mandela10


2023 marks the tenth anniversary of Madiba’s passing. The Nelson Mandela Foundation will use this seminal year to re-ignite the global imagination and impetus behind Madiba’s legacy. - Gushwell Brooks #MandelaDay #Mandela10

Our aim for #MandelaDay is to plant one million trees and food gardens globally. Partner with us. - Gushwell Brooks #Mandela10

This year we are focusing on climate, food and ensuring that there is solidarity with the environment, with each other and with those who are in need particularly when it comes to food insecurity. - Sello Hatang at the official launch of #MandelaDay today. #Mandela10
