“Our Constitution, and the Freedom Charter before it, established the principle that South Africa belongs to all who live in it; to all who call it home. “The corollary to this, of course, is that all who call it home belong in a South Africa that is ‘homely’, that is hospitable, that is just. "And there, precisely, is the rub. Whatever the Constitution depicts and requires, in reality far too few people experience a South Africa having these attributes,” says the #NelsonMandelaFoundation’s acting CEO, Verne Harris, in this thought leadership piece: https://brnw.ch/21wMiu9

Join us at 3pm on 28 September for the lecture. It will be livestreamed on our YouTube channel or you can watch it on the SABC.

The fifth Nelson Mandela Legacy #Ride4Hope tour kicks off on 3 September from the Nelson Mandela Capture Site in Howick, KwaZulu-Natal, and finishes in Mthatha in the Eastern Cape on 8 September. The Ride4Hope tour, which was first held in 2018 in partnership with the #NelsonMandelaFoundation, aims to make a positive difference in some of South Africa's most remote areas. The cyclists will cover about 550km, making donations to schools along the route. The Nelson Mandela Capture Site marks the place where Mandela was arrested on 5 August 1962. He was later sentenced to life in jail.

Our #WomensMonth ECD sector spotlight today falls on Ambiga Govender, the principal of Little Lambs Daycare Centre and Pre-school in Jeppestown, Johannesburg, an area plagued by socio-economic issues. She started the centre in 2003 with a set of twins as the first enrolled pupils – and 21 years later, Little Lambs is flourishing. The centre has provided a foundation for a host of past learners now thriving in careers ranging from journalism and teaching to sports psychology. “I empower the children by encouraging self-expression and exploration, helping them to become confident, independent thinkers. I demonstrate the importance of education, hard work and dedication, inspiring them to navigate through the socio-economic challenges that they are faced with on a daily basis. “Our focus on empowerment for future generations includes instilling values such as empathy, resilience and creativity, which contributes to raising a new generation of leaders and changemakers. We believe Little Lambs will continue to have a positive impact for generations to come,” says Govender. #NelsonMandelaFoundation #ECD #WomensMonth #Education
