SANParks Celebrates Mandela Day With The Homeless
South African National Parks (SANParks) Head Office staff today celebrated International Nelson Mandela Day by hosting a soup kitchen for the homeless together with Sunny Park Mall in Pretoria. The United Nations founded Nelson Mandela International Day in December 2009.
According to the SANParks General Manager: Media, PR & Stakeholder Relations, Rey Thakhuli, “After everything that Nelson Mandela did for this country and the world at large, it is up to individuals and organisations to make a difference in communities around them. He is gone, but his spirit and soul are still with us, and we need to do our bit in commemoration of it.”
In continuing the spirit of Mandela Day for the month of July, SANParks is collecting and will be donating sanitary pads to a school and elderly home in Soweto later this month. “We need to take care of our most vulnerable citizens which are the destitute and homeless”, said Thakhuli.
In conclusion, Thakhuli said the former apartheid struggle icon must be celebrated and remembered as his tireless commitment to improving the lives of the most vulnerable is indisputable. SANParks, in line with its vision statement, wants to reconnect and inspire society by changing the world into a better place one small step at a time.
