67 different projects were selected by the Woolworths Trust, which is giving each of them an additional R5000 donation, while teams of employee volunteers will dedicate their time on Mandela Day to helping these and other organizations in their communities. These include organisations supporting children, the elderly and individuals with disabilities or special needs, as well as wildlife.

Explaining their commitment to Mandela Day, Zinzi Mgolodela, Head of Transformation at Woolworths said, “The legacy of former President Nelson Rholihlahla Mandela is that each individual has the ability and the responsibility to change the world for the better. Woolworths 67 Projects and 67 Minutes of Service initiatives commemorate Mandela Day 2014 and the legacy of the great man.”
