Answering the call of the former President of the Republic of South Africa, Dr Nelson Rholihlahla Mandela probationers and parolees will join the Department of Correctional Services officials at Mamelodi Hospital and Mmalerato Care Centre as part of making a meaningful contribution to a call to spend 67 minutes of the time to assist those that are less fortunate and privileged in our communities.
To this end the group will cook food, clean the yard facilities, wash and iron the laundry at the Mamelodi hospital and Mmalerato Care Centre.
