Tribute to a PR leaderWe start off by paying tribute to Ruth Golembo, who sadly passed away on 14 July. The PR expert and former business journalist owned Lange 360 Strategic Communications, which joined Meropa Communications last year. She was also on the Cape Town Press Club committee. Our condolences to her family, friends and colleagues. Today is Mandela Day, where we celebrate the great man's legacy and the will to do good. Roane Swindon provides five ways to do your share on Nelson Mandela Day from adopting a school for the day to sponsoring a guide dog. Following the recent attacks in Nice and Turkey, the hashtag #2016in3words went viral, where the world expressed their thoughts on social media. Louise Marsland gives her roundup from last week's most trending stories. Then with Loeries just a month away, Leigh Andrews found out what's going on #BehindtheLoeries with Ryan McManus. He's part of this year's Digital & Interactive judging panel. Comment online in our ed's column archive. Go mobile with apps and m.bizcommunity.com.
