Muizenberg SAPS celebrated Mandela Day with a morning visit to St James Roman Catholic School in Kalk Bay. The Women’s Network of the Muizenberg SAPS read stories and had talk time with the children and brought them gift bags of books and goodies for school. Captain Stephen Knapp spoke to the children about safety and showed them some self-defence moves. Then on Thesens Bridge in Muizenberg in the afternoon, the Muizenberg Craft Share group handed out their handmade gifts of warmth to passers-by. The craft group meets every Friday at Joon in Palmer Road and each year the group chooses to work towards donating their handiwork to a cause close to home. This year the group, for its 67 minutes, handed out scarves, beanies and biscuits to anyone walking over the bridge.

Handing out warmth on Mandela Day – these hand knitted scarves and beanies were given to anyone who needed them
Self-defence formed part of the morning for children at St James Roman Catholic School.
Sun Valley group of schools got together in a spiral around an image of Nelson Mandela to celebrate Mandela Day on Thursday July 18. The photo included Grade R pupils from the Sunbird Pre-Primary School, Grades 1 to 7 from Sun Valley Primary School and Grades 8 to 12 from Silvermine Academy.
Lilian Bron-Davis, of Noordhoek, spent Mandela Day teaching women in her community how to make jam. Ms Bron-Davis said jam and chutney making had given 12-year-old Ahlumile Schumi Mjongile the opportunity to open her own savings account and learn karate. Sothebys International Realty in Noordhoek provided some 19-litre jam pots and aprons for Money for Jam.
