Celebration of Nelson Mandela 93 Years

“South Africa celebrates Mandela Day, marking the 93rd birthday of the country’s first black president, with each citizen urged to donate 67 minutes for volunteer work — a minute for every year he devoted himself to the anti-apartheid struggle. Celebrations kick off at 0605 GMT with some 12.4 million children in schools around the country singing “Happy Birthday” – Nigeria’s Vanguard
