On 18 July every year, the world marks International Nelson Mandela Day as an occasion to reflect on the life and legacy of the iconic South African freedom fighter. In recent years, many South Africans use the international celebration as a chance to do good in disadvantaged communities.
International Mandela Day was first celebrated in 2010 as an opportunity to highlight the idea that everyone has the power to make a difference in the world – no matter how small their beginnings.
