Lotus FM celebrates Mandela Day with telethon to raise shoes

All staff, listeners and viewers are encouraged to come down to the SABC KwaZulu-Natal at 100 Old Fort Road, Durban to dedicate 67 minutes to calling friends, family and corporate companies to donate towards this worthy cause.

All raincoats and school shoes donated on Mandela Day will be distributed as part of the station's Warm Hearts campaign. "Your gift will help us to realise Mandela's legacy wish," says station manager Alvin Pillay.

"It is imperative that we teach the children of this country to be the best at whatever they do, they must be the difference, be the change and in their own way, they will be changing their future world," comments its marketing manager, Donne Henry.

Support the drive by dropping off donations or call +27 (0) 31 362 5444 to register to be part of the telethon.
