Former South African President Nelson Mandela is a global icon, leaving his mark not just on South Africa but on the world. The life and spirit of President Mandela will always inspire us to continue fighting for fairness and justice. Cape Town and Johannesburg play a significant role in his life story, and Mandela left a lasting legacy in both the city and the country. Our trip will be a historic mission and a first-hand educational experience for the youth and every participant on this mission. This mission will open our eyes to a better understanding of the challenges faced by the people of South Africa, 30 years after the end of Apartheid, and encourage them to advocate for their rights here at home, supporting one another as a community.
Meet the KHOISAN People, known to be the first Indigenous people of South Africa.
