On 20 and 21 July 2026, the Speaker of the North West Provincial Legislature, Dr. Desbo Mohono, together with Members of the Provincial Legislature (MPLs) and Legislature staff, will commemorate International Nelson Mandela Day at various centres and schools across all four districts of the North West Province.
The commemoration aims to inspire citizens to take-action and help build a better world by fostering a spirit of service, responsibility, and compassion—values championed by the late global icon Nelson Mandela. The day is also intended to encourage communities to observe this humanitarian occasion by promoting the ethos of ‘Vukuzenzele’ (self-initiative) in honour of Madiba’s enduring legacy.
Activities Planned for the Day Include:
Presiding Officers, MPLs and Legislature staff will participate in various community service activities such as:
• Painting, cleaning, and plumbing at selected centres.
• Donating 50 blankets to each of the identified care centres.
• Distributing grocery hampers, sanitary towels, beanies, socks, and other essentials.
• In some centres lunch will be hosted for the elderly and beneficiaries.
• Distributing 200 school shoes per district to schools across all districts after reopening as part of the Mandela Day continuation.
• Gardening and planting of trees.
