Bikers for Mandela Day, giving to communities
Bikers for Mandela Day in 2012 will be bigger, as Jacaranda FM again joins the fray with presenter, Dianne Broodryk and Zelda la Grange, Madiba's right hand lady, supporting a host of other biker communities through South Africa that have taken up the task to mobilise their own communities around Mandela Day.
Jacaranda FM's Dianne Broodryk with kids who benefitted from last year's 'Bikers for Mandela Day'.
This International Mandela Day, celebrated annually on 18 July Madiba's birthday, sees him turning 94. At the core of Mandela Day lies the principle of dedicating 67 minutes of volunteers' time - as Madiba has done for more than 67 years - in doing a proactive deed of changing the lives of others for the better.
Jacaranda FM Biker activities will include events in Clocolaan, Zastron, Queenstown, Qunu (the village that produced Nelson Mandela), Mount Frere and Winterton between 15-19 July. They will get their hands dirty with various community upliftment and empowerment projects joining biker organisations across the country in doing their bit for Mandela Day.
Celebrities supporting some of these initiatives include Elvis Blue and Dozi among others.
