Children at four farm schools near Grahamstown will celebrate Mandela Day in bright sunshine yellow – albeit a few days later.
The Albany Museum mobile services will be taking rulers, water bottles and caps to four farm schools on Friday to mark Mandela Day, which was celebrated on Monday – the same day schools reopened around the province.
The colourful goodies were donated by Statistics South Africa, which said in a statement that farm communities were some of the most deprived and neglected.
Census ensured that every country’s citizen counted, including the farm communities.
The Mandela Day celebration for the children of Manley Flats, Zintle, Martindale and Wilson’s Party will include a short address and cultural activities.
Nozipho Madinda, the Mobile Museum Services Officer has appealed to the Makana community for other donations to help make the children's day special.
Mandela Day is a call to everyone to spend only 67 minutes and help make a difference. It celebrates the legacy of the legendary former State President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela.
Albany Museum is also showcasing for the last time the Dear Mr Mandela…Dear Mrs Parks: Children’s Letters, Global Lessons Exhibition for all those who missed it previously.
