Mandela Day message by Executive Mayor Conrad Poole

​​​Press Release

18 July 2022

“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived; it is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.”

On the day that the world dedicates to our former President, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, I want to remind you of that famous quote of his.

There is so much discord and suffering in this world. Those words should serve as motivation for us to do more to make a real change in the lives of those who are not as fortunate as us.

So, I want to implore you to use your 67 minutes for Mandela today to start acting out his words and to lighten the burden of a fellow human being.
