Chief Zwelivelile Mandela leads learners into the Mandela Day container library
27 October, 2011 – The installation of Mandela Day libraries continues to spread the Mandela Day message about people’s capacity, when working together, to bring about positive change. The libraries promote a reading culture and address the call for equal access to resources for education.
The twelfth and thirteenth Mandela Day Libraries were opened at schools in the historically important areas of Mvezo and Qunu in the Eastern Cape district where Nelson Mandela was born. The two refurbished container units were sponsored by the South African Airways which, in the last two years, has involved primary schools in the area in their Mandela Day activities.
