The Grammy-award winning Soweto Gospel Choir, who has sung for Madiba's birthdays at all the 46664 Concerts at home and around the world, will be joining in to honour Madiba in song.
"Thanks to the marvels of modern communications and social media, Mandela Day 2013 is a chance for us to do something in concert and to share our experiences. Madiba Magic is something we collectively manifest at those special moments when it feels like we're all doing something special, together," says Cliff.
This is just the start of the day's activities, 5FM and its deejays will be making their way to the historical Vilakazi Street in Soweto. The 5FM team and representatives will be painting the Holy Cross Day Care Centre, cooking lunch for 150 children, playing soccer with the children from the Thyolweni Orphanage and handing over donations to the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund.
Ending off the day, The Fresh Drive will be broadcasting live from Vilakazi Street at Sakhumzi Restaurant. Join the team of DJ Fresh, Poppy Ntshongwana, Catherine Grenfell and Duran Collett from 3pm to 7pm.
