South Africans remember Nelson Mandela on 106th anniversary of his birth

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - JULY 18, 2024: South Africans joined millions from across the world to remember former President Nelson Mandela who would have turned 106 years old on Thursday. The South African government said International Nelson Mandela Day celebrations hold special significance this year because on this day in 1994, Mandela presided over the first Government of National Unity. Coincidentally, President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver the first Opening of Parliament Address of the 7th Administration under the Government of National Unity on the same day, it said in a statement. Mandela Day also coincides this year with the 30th anniversary of the birth of the countrys democratic government -- a milestone Mandela was instrumental in helping to end decades of apartheid. The UN in 2009 designated July 18 as International Nelson Mandela Day to celebrate the Nobel Peace Prize winners birthday and commemorate the fight against racism and apartheid. To honor Mandela and his selfless contribution to humanity, South Africans are dedicating 67 minutes to volunteer for good causes. Abdulaziz Yigit, director of the Yunus Emre Institute in Johannesburg, joined the Kgalema Motlanthe Foundation in planting trees with students at the Jules High School in Johannesburg. The event was attended by former South African first lady Gugu Mothlanthe. Happy #MandelaDay! To honor Nelson Mandelas lifelong commitment to service, we awarded Mandela Day Services Grants to support ten alumni service projects and make every day Mandela Day, the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg wrote on X. The Foundation also rallied residents in Johannesburg and joined them in cleaning parts of the city that were filled with litter. (Footage by Ihsaan Haffejee/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
