South Africa: Nelson Mandela Appreciation Dinner, Mzansi-Style in China

Nelson Mandela, father of the nation and a global icon whose noble actions and legacy of active citizenship continue to inspire many, seven years on from his passing.

On the 18th of July, which is Nelson Mandela International Day, the world comes together to celebrate Mandela's birthday and honour his legacy by taking action and making a positive impact on the world.
