Unrest, Covid, reduce Mandela Day impact

Unrest, Covid, reduce Mandela Day impact

This is not the future that Madiba envisaged for our ‘rainbow nation’ … violent protests, indiscriminate looting and destruction in the days leading up to International Nelson Mandela Day.

Coupled with the effects of the third wave of Covid-19 in Gauteng, the situation left volunteers and donors with very few opportunities to make a difference this year.

At JCH, we really missed being able to welcome generous visitors and volunteers – and our Wish List remains largely unfulfilled.
