Spend 67 minutes with us

You’re warmly invited to join us for Mandela Day – at any of our residences or wellness centres.

Mandela Day calls for 67 minutes of service to others, symbolising the 67 years Nelson Mandela devoted to fighting for social justice. We believe there is no better way to honour his legacy than by sharing your time with our elders.

Engaging with older people through conversation, laughter and games brings immense joy to their day – in fact, it’s the their favourite way to celebrate special occasions. Especially if you bring along some cake or other teatime treats! Find it difficult to start conversations with strangers? Our Conversation Cards are a light-hearted tool to help get the ball rolling.

As a special spoil for our elders, please consider bringing gifts of toiletries. Many of them have no income other than a government Old Age Grant, and this small gesture will be much appreciated.

If you or your company would like to get involved in a maintenance or other project, we would love to hear from you! Please get in touch with us to discuss how your team can get involved.

To arrange your visit or for more information, please contact Madeleen at madeleenv@tafta.org.za.

Together, let’s make this Mandela Day a memorable one for our cherished elders.
