We have put together a list of Mandela Day events that are happening in the province.
Mandela Day Mosaic

The public is encouraged to participate by helping put together one of the largest food can mosaics ever constructed in South Africa.
This event will be held at Clearwater Mall Piazza from 12:00 to 15:00.
All the food cans used in building the mosaic will be donated to LEAP Maths and Science Schools.
