Ms Rejoice Mabudafhasi, Deputy Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs, will lead the Nelson Mandela Day celebration at Maatla Primary School in Hoedspruit, in Limpopo province on the 24th July 2012.
The Deputy Minister will be joined by the Executive Mayor of Mopani District municipality Cllr Joshua Matlou.
Nelson Mandela Day is a national campaign which has been elevated to international level and it has been initiated by Nelson Mandela Foundation to foster the spirit of ubuntu which emphasises the need by all people of the world to selflessly dedicate 67 minutes of their time to implement projects for development and betterment of the lives of ordinary people, especially the needy. Maatla Primary School meets the criteria and has been prioritised as a needy case for intervention.
The DEA and Mopani District Municipality will mobilise the local community to provide their time and labour for free to paint the school, demolishing of toilets, cleaning the school yard and plant trees, amongst others. And also, one of the major activities of the day would be the handover of the LP Mopani Waste Recycling and Buy Pack Centre Project which aims to complement waste management services.
