As part of Mandela Day commemorations, the Midvaal Local Municipality extended acts of kindness and service across the region through impactful charitable initiatives.

Mandela Day is observed to honour the former South African President Nelson Mandela’s profound contributions to peace, freedom, and service to humanity.

The Executive Mayor, Alderman Peter Teixeira, was joined by Members of the Mayoral Committee (MMCs) for these initiatives.

The delegation began the day’s activities at the Meyerton Library by offering soup to members of the homeless community, providing comfort and care to those in need.

The second visit was to Kotulong Community Centre, where a donation was handed over to support the children’s home and its ongoing efforts to provide safety and care for vulnerable children.

At Precious Place of Hope in Walkerville, municipal representatives joined hands to maintain the garden and presented a donation to further support the facility in its mission to uplift the community.

The day concluded at Eagle Wing Shelter in Riversdale, where the Municipality handed over a donation for knitting equipment to empower residents with skills and creative opportunities.

These initiatives reflect Midvaal’s continued commitment to being a caring and compassionate institution, directly honouring the values embodied by former President Nelson Mandela.
