67-minute pledge wall at Cresta

Cresta Shopping Centre is inviting shoppers to make a mark for Madiba by leaving a personal birthday message for him on its pledge wall and donate to its chosen charity.

Cresta events manager Phiwo Madubela says, "Madiba's legacy inspires people from all walks of life and because of this we would like to create a '67 Minute Pledge Wall', so our customers can be part of the birthday celebrations and make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate."

The pledge wall will be located in the Woolworths Court between 12-1.07pm. After donating R10 to charity, shoppers can draw an outline of their hand on the wall and write a personal birthday message for Madiba. The birthday messages will be passed on to the Nelson Mandela Fund.

"Although not everyone is able to offer a full 67 minutes to charity on Mandela's birthday, many can donate a few minutes of their time along with R10, and in so doing become part of our Madiba Pledge Wall," concludes Madubela.
