Neighbourhood Farm partnered with Pam Golding and Guthrie Colananni Attorneys in Fish Hoek on Mandela Day, Thursday July 18, to build a rainwater harvesting garden at the Fish Hoek civic centre. The garden was landscaped to funnel rainwater from the road to the garden instead of having it flow out to sea. As the day progressed, members of the community joined in doing their part in beautifying the garden.

Fish Hoek police station staff paid the children at Gods Little Lighthouse in Fish Hoek a surprise visit on Mandela Day. Station commander, LieutenantColonel Jackie Johnson, said the school had faced some difficulties and the idea was to adopt the creche and build relationships with the children. She said they wanted the children to feel comfortable to call the police in a time of need. Noodles and beans collected from the stations staff were donated to the school and each child received a soft toy donated to SAPS by Bay Primary School. And the Family, Child and Sexual Offences Unit made a donation to help the school buy soft toys for each child. The children thanked the officers by singing to them.
