Nomvula Sikhakhane with the Foundation’s Florence Garishe
The Nelson Mandela Foundation has taken part in the Take a Girl Child to Work campaign, hosting 13-year-old Nomvula Sikhakhane from Rand Girls’ School on Thursday, August 19.
Sikhakhane spent the day learning more about the work of the Nelson Mandela Foundation and its Centre of Memory and Dialogue.
“It was a great experience because I got to know what most people do and actually get a picture of what happens at the Nelson Mandela Foundation,” Sikhakhane said.
The Centre of Memory and Dialogue was established to draw on the leadership of Nelson Mandela and encourage people to enter into discussion – often about difficult subjects – in order to address the challenges South Africa faces today.
The best part of her day was when she watched a documentary about Mr Mandela in the Foundation’s auditorium, she said.
“I got to understand how Nelson Mandela fought for the country and sacrificed his life for the people.”
