Nelson Mandela

First and foremost my fellow blogger and I would like to wish Tata Nelson Mandela a Happy 94th Birthday.

Today our country celebrated the birthday of our most prized leader, role model, Tata (Father in Xhosa). Families, friends, students gathered together around South Africa to sing at 08:00am today to our former president.

Last year it was decided that their would be a Nelson Mandela Day, which is a initiative that requires everyone to lend a helping hand for at least 67 minutes … 67 represents the amount of years that Nelson Mandela spent fighting for freedom and equality amongst all people. So, many gathered to build homes for underprivileged people, bought food and clothes for orphans etc.

It honestly touched my heart to see many people with such a huge spirit of giving, but I hope it doesn’t end today.
