The Mandela Story…told in a digital age way.
Tata Madiba, who has bowed out of the public life, was last seen in pictures sent out last week when President Jacob Zuma visited him in his rural home in Qunu in the Eastern Cape. He had visited him after touring the construction site of a bridge that is being built in Madiba’s honour to increase access to Mvezo village.
President Jacob Zuma reported that he was in good health, happy and content.
At 8am this morning, millions of South Africans, including learners from the country’s schools, prominent artists and personalities, will unite their voices in song to wish the country’s favourite icon good health and a blessed day – a gesture of love and appreciation that will be broadcast on national TV and by most radio stations.
Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga will lead learners in song from a school in Limpopo.
Approximately 12.5 million school children are expected to participate in the initiative, which is part of LeadSA in partnership with the Department of Basic Education and the Nelson Mandela Foundation — supported by Shout, Brand SA and Proudly South African.
