This year Mandela Day asks us to "take action and inspire change."
To "take action and inspire change" Algoa FM has partnered with the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium operated by the Mandela Bay Development Agency (MBDA) to take action and inspire change in the Mandela Bay area.
Algoa FM also partnered with the Border Kei Chamber of Business and with the George Municipality, to take action and inspire change in the Border Kei and the Garden Route area.
