Did you know Nelson Mandela had such a big heart for children and youth that he chose to celebrate his birthday with children?
The Nelson Mandela Children's Fund (the Fund) has preserved this day to honour his legacy.
This year, a fun walk with children and youth has been organised with our underwriting sponsor Nedbank.
We want to walk the extra mile, so vulnerable children do not have to.

National Children's Theatre to Perform at Fun Walk
We are delighted to have the talented team from the National Children's Theatre perform at our Fun Walk on 16 July.
They will be performing "Under The Baobab Tree" which is filled with exciting stories, vibrant songs ranging from Pata Pata to Waka Waka and Jerusalema, pulsating rhythms with African drums and lively dance. This charming SA production enthralls and educates children and the young at heart with some valuable lessons about friendship, UBUNTU and the rich diversity of South African cultures, while having fun." |
