Every year on Mandela Day, South Africans are encouraged to dedicate 67 minutes to making a
difference, a powerful tribute to Nelson Mandela's 67 years of service to humanity. It's a day filled with acts of kindness, community clean-ups, food drives and volunteer work. But when the clock strikes midnight and Mandela Day comes to an end, what happens to the values that inspired those acts? South Africa continues to face poverty, inequality, corruption, gender-based violence and growing social division. These are the very challenges Mandela believed could only be overcome through ethical leadership, active citizenship, compassion and a shared commitment to justice. So, is 67 minutes of service enough? Have we reduced Mandela's legacy to an annual ritual, or are we truly living the principles he dedicated his life to? What does it mean to practise forgiveness, accountability, service and unity not just on Mandela Day, but every single day? Clementine Mabena is in conversation with Thlogi Mosuwe.
