Why 67 you ask? Many have and continue to fight tirelessly for a free and just society, one who stand out is Nelson Mandela. He and others spent 67 years fighting for social justice. The idea that each and every one of us has the ability to make a difference and transform the world for the better is the driving force behind the initiative. every year on the 18th of July - the day Nelson Mandela was born - the UN asks individuals around the world to mark Mandela day by making a difference in their communities for at 67 minutes. So we at the C O L L E C T V E are asking you to start your 67 years with a mere 67 minutes.
The Golden Harvest Park will be open to individuals and corporates that wish to get involved. This initiative will be open from 10h00 to 15h00 on Wednesday the 18th of July 2018.
"We must use time wisely and forever realise that the time is always ripe to do right." Nelson Mandela
