Government thanks all South Africans, from all sectors, for working together and dedicating 67 minutes of their time to clean up their surroundings.

The main objective of Nelson Mandela International Day is to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better.  President Jacob Zuma led a clean-up campaign in the Eastern Cape. This was accompanied by several other clean-up initiatives by government departments, private organisations and communities at large.
