As we enter Mandela Month, we must consider if we are following the late statesman’s example. What are we doing to cross the barriers of separation?
Every year, Mandela Day encourages us to spend at least 67 minutes – representing Nelson Mandela’s 67 years of struggle for liberty and tolerance – making a positive difference in our communities. Since Mandela Day was first instituted on 18 July 2009, we’ve turned this into an entire month of good deeds.
But when we look at the growing levels of social intolerance, we have to wonder if we are doing enough.

On 9 August 1956, over 20 000 women marched peacefully to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to protest oppressive apartheid laws. Those women played a crucial role in changing our country for the better. Today, Women’s Day is an opportunity to focus on how we can shatter the glass ceiling – not just by fighting sexism, but also racism, ageism, ableism and other forms of oppression.

It’s not just a chance to celebrate your own traditions; it’s a golden opportunity to learn more about other cultures and build social cohesion.
Every year on 24 September, South Africans pause to celebrate Heritage Day. In a country built by the efforts of people from dozens of backgrounds, this should be a singular moment of pride in the diversity of our unique nation.
The concept behind the holiday is for each person to remember the culture, traditions and history that make up their past, while also taking the chance to learn about and celebrate the heritage of fellow citizens.
