In his State of the Nation Address earlier this year, President Jacob Zuma outlined plans to commemorate the political life of the Nobel Prize laureate.
Zuma’s call was for all South Africans to dedicate 67 minutes of their time to service of others on Mandela’s birthday. Each minute represents a year of Mandela’s life spent fighting for freedom and justice in South Africa.
How will you spend your 67 minutes on Mandela Day?
