Mandela Day is just days away, and we are gearing up for another fun food-packing event, which will secure nutritious meals for nearly one million food-insecure South Africans.
On Thursday, 18 July, we see corporates, individuals, schools, and families coming together to volunteer their 67 minutes. Come early and don’t forget to bring your ticket along to enter.
All our slots at our Cape Town and Johannesburg venues are fully booked, but tickets are still available in Durban, Rustenburg, and Gqeberha.
