93 houses for Madiba's 93rd
MEC for Local Government and Housing in Limpopo, Soviet Lekganyane, handed over 93 RDP houses to destitute families at Shongoane outside Lephalale to celebrate Madiba's 93rd birthday. The function is a run-up to the Nelson Mandela Day Celebrations to be held in Giyani on Monday.
Lekganyane told hundreds of villagers gathered at Shongoane sports ground that giving people decent accommodation was something very special to Nelson Mandela. "Our intention was to hand over 93 houses today to coincide with 93 years of his existence on earth. Today our constructor surprised us she has completed 160 houses out of 175 which are already completed."

The Nelson Mandela Bay Metro has added a bit of an African renaissance in its long list of activities to celebrate Mandela Day. The Metro will support a match between Motherwell Township residents and the foreign nationals who have made the township their home.
Metro Mayor Zanoxolo Wayile says the match is the initiative of the community itself aimed at promoting social cohesion between the locals and the foreigners in the township.
