As part of the Nelson Mandela Day the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Lindiwe Sisulu, Chief of the South African National Defence Force and the South African Army Council Members will receive donations and donate them to Kiddy College at Tek Base on Thursday, 7 July 2011, at 12h00.
This is but one of the many contributions by the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) during the month of July in celebration of Mandela Day which aims to serve as a global call to action for people to “recognise their individual power to make an imprint and help change the world around them for the better”.
On Thursday Malao’s Bedding will donate blankets and mattresses to the Kiddy College. The 67 minutes initiative is a perfect opportunity for the Department of Defence to help change the lives of Kiddy College children, and at the same time honour the legacy of the former Commander-in-Chief of the SANDF, President Nelson Mandela.
In view of the above, you are cordially invited to send a journalist and /or a cameraperson/photographer to cover the event. Journalists who are assigned to cover the event are requested to arrive at Tek Base not later 11h45.
