At 09h45 on Nelson Mandela International Day, 18 July 2014, members of the public are invited to attend free screenings of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom at selected Ster-Kinekor cinemas across the country.
Guests will be admitted on a first come, first served basis.
Sello Hatang, CEO of the Nelson Mandela Foundation, has urged members of the public to attend the screenings. “As the film Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom shows, Madiba left us an incredible gift, a legacy to cherish and make our own. We believe that Madiba’s value system rests on three pillars: free yourself, free others and serve every day. Let us all emulate the servant leader we loved, by all becoming servant leaders ourselves,” he said.
“We have partnered with the Nelson Mandela Foundation on Mandela Day activities since its inception and we are delighted to continue this association. We are also pleased to be collaborating with Ster-Kinekor to take the film to audiences around the country. We hope that the audience watching the film will be inspired to give back to their communities by following Madiba’s example,” said Anant Singh, producer of the film.
Fiaz Mohamed, CEO of Ster-Kinekor said: “We are delighted to host South Africans for free in our cinemas to be inspired by this magnificent film based on our Madiba’s magnificent legacy. We hope that many will leave our cinemas motivated more readily to serve others and serve our country.”
The film celebrates Nelson Mandela’s extraordinary life journey from his childhood in a rural village through to his election as president of South Africa.
