It is generally known that the Government has declared
2018, a year of Nelson Mandela and Albertina Sisulu with
the theme: “Be the Legacy.” The South African Government
has encouraged all citizens to celebrate the legacy of
Nelson Mandela and Albertina Sisulu by doing activities
that will leave legacy on the host communities.
In his words, Nelson Mandela said: “What count in life is
not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference
we have made to the lives of others that will determine the
significance of the life we lead.”

individuals living in the far-flung areas. SANEDI will continue
to do so post the centenary celebrations.
