July and honour his legacy with a series of activities scheduled for the whole of July.
City officials, comprising of health practitioners, have already visited patients at Dawn Park Clinic
on Friday, 12 July to lend a hand and show selflessness by giving food to the patients and harvest
the food garden at the facility.
The facility maintains a food garden to provide vegetables to chronic patients.

to mark Mandela Month.

still in our hands to combat poverty and inequity.”
The city will conduct the abovementioned activities to honour Nelson Mandela and harness the
power of each participant to change the world.
