Several businesses, organisations and individuals took hands on Mandela Day, 18 July, to do good during their 67 minutes.
Members of the Kathu SAPS, the community policing forum (CPF) and Hope is Here, as well as other volunteers, prepared soup and sandwiches.
They handed it out in Mapoteng, also to jobseekers in the central business district and to filling station attendants and car washers.
Staff of the Beaconsfield Library in Kimberley prepared soup and sandwiches that were distributed in collaboration with Mfazwe Noko of the Northern Cape Department of Agriculture and Environmental Affairs. Several staff members of the Northern Cape Library Services were involved.
Sun Flamingo in Kimberley partnered with the Lenmed Hospital and invited local businesses to join them in making as many sandwiches as they could within 67 minutes.
Together, 4 183 sandwiches were made and distributed, along with collected boxes of spreads, to local charities.
Also, visually impaired persons of the Northern Cape Society for the Blind visited the Ons Huis Old Age Home, where they entertained the residents with song and afterwards enjoyed tea with them.
