South Africans across the country are celebrating Mandela Day (July 18), by doing charitable activities for at least 67 minutes. Celebrities such as Chad Saaiman shared what he was planning on doing, and Maps Maponyane tweeted out his first stop for charitable activities.
The “Top Billing” presenter posted several pictures of him packing lunch and gift boxes in collaboration with Netflorist, captioning the post: “First stop for #MandelaDay this morning. Packing lunch and gift boxes with NetFlorist to give out to those in need and just to put some smiles on faces and spread the love. #MandelaDay2019
The “Play” singer had mentioned on Wednesday that he would be going to Mitchells Plain with the Ster Kinekor Vision Mission Team to hand out reading glasses to underprivileged kids.
