#MandelaMonth: 67 minutes, endless impact
This year, BET Software, alongside the Hollywood Foundation, dedicated its 67 minutes on Mandela Day by bringing food gardens to life in under-resourced communities. Team members from JHB, CPT, and KZN donated laptops and gardening essentials. They also teamed up with local leaders and food resilience organisations to run food security workshops and spent the day painting and planting alongside local learners.

Lasting impact grows from the ground up, and the teams made a real difference under this year’s theme 'It’s still in our hands to combat poverty'. In Durban, at KwaMashu Christian Centre, together with Emseni Community Projects, BET Software and the Hollywood Foundation worked side-by-side to create gardens that not only feed communities but also empower them.
“It is moving to see our teams get their hands dirty for good. This is how we honour Madiba’s legacy, by showing up where it matters most,” said Michael Collins, general manager at BET Software.
The day ended with a sense of renewed purpose and a commitment to supporting efforts that make a tangible difference in people’s lives, long after Mandela Day has passed.
