Our Mandela Day 2025 in Action: 832,000 Meals and Counting

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who showed up, stood up, and made a real difference at our 2025 food packing events in Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg.

Your 67 minutes of service and energy brought the spirit of Ubuntu to life, a true reflection of Madiba’s legacy.

Together, our enthusiastic volunteers packed 200 tons of food, helping provide over 800,000 meals to our network of Beneficiary Organisations across South Africa.

To all our Mandela Day sponsors, your generosity made this possible and will create a real and lasting impact.

In addition to our 3 regional packing events, SASOL hosted their on-site packing event and their contribution and active involvement resulted in a further 8 tons of food packed, providing an additional 32,000 meals to communities facing food insecurity.

It’s never too late to make a difference. Join us as a donor or volunteer and help us continue Mandela’s legacy every day. Get involved today!
