CWSA Benefits from Mandela Day

CWSA has benefitted immensely from generous support of volunteers on Mandela Day. Most of the assistance was rendered in the Mpumalanga and the Western Cape provinces.

CWSA received generous donations of food, clothing and support to our member organisations. Many heeded our call to donate R67 in line with the 67 minutes that people all over the world are requested to give towards the less fortunate on Mandela Day.

A special thank you to the DHL team in Mpumalanga, for their generous giving. A special thank you also to everybody who made Mandela Day such a success at CWSA.
