The Nelson Mandela Foundation today announced Mandela Day 2015, urging the public to register their actions on www.mandeladay.com.
“Nelson Mandela’s legacy has created the opportunity for us to achieve a bright future,” commented Sello Hatang, Chief Executive of the Nelson Mandela Foundation. “Madiba aptly said: “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.”
It was Nelson Mandela’s humble humanitarian philosophy and how he sought to live it every day that made him one of the most inspiring leaders in the world – free yourself, free others and serve every day.

In honouring Madiba’s legacy, the Nelson Mandela Foundation asks that you create or join an action on the Mandela Day website, share your story with the world, and help inspire global change.
