67 years of caring – now it's your turn

For 67 years, Tafta has been a beacon of dignity and hope for older people in Durban.

This Mandela Day, we reflect not only on Nelson Mandela’s 67 years of service – but also on Tafta’s journey. A journey shared with caring and compassionate people like you, who have walked beside us every step of the way.

Just as Madiba gave of himself to build a better South Africa, we invite YOU to give back in honour of both his legacy – and ours.
