Singing, dancing, reading and music created an atmosphere of celebration at the opening of the 32nd Mandela Day container library, at Magudu Primary School in Mpumalanga, on 5 September 2013. 

The school is situated in the extreme east of the country, not far from the Kruger National Park. The library is the second of two such facilities sponsored by the Woolworths Trust and the My School, My Village, My Planet programme.

The school was selected as a recipient of a container library because of its extremely proactive principal, Mrs Joyce Mabaso.

Principal Mabaso has involved the school in the Eduplant and Food and Trees for Africa permaculture scheme and has introduced a number of positive activities at the school, including the sustained presence of a Soul Buddyz club of learners.
