Nelson Mandela International Day 2022 was celebrated at Springdales School in New Delhi; during “Diversity Week,” which was held on the anniversary of his birth. J. S. Ndebels, the Republic of South Africa’s High Commissioner to India; was present to honour the occasion.
The yearly celebration built on the school’s “inclusion of everyone” and “We are many; but we are one” policies—ideas that Mandela held near and dear when he envisioned his Rainbow Nation.
The School Choir’s rendition of generational feelings on this occasion; brought the strength and conviction of Mandela to life. The Zulu hymn “Madiba” and the version of “We le le” brought back memories of Mandela’s time.
The occasion was a celebration of Dr. Nelson Mandela’s life; times, and the principles of justice, freedom, and love that he left as his lasting legacy. To commemorate the event, the students gave papers; and audiovisual presentations.
Young dancers from the school’s final performance, “The Dance of Diversity”; enchanted the audience in a fitting homage to this peace messenger.

The former South African president’s birth anniversary; is commemorated each year on July 18 as Mandela Day. Nelson Mandela International Day, sometimes known as Mandela Day; was formally established by the United Nations in November 2009.
The Nelson Mandela International Day honours the South African leader’s 67-year battle; against racial prejudice and violations of human rights.
Chief Guest Ndebele praised the school’s efforts in support of the battle against apartheid; and exhorted the pupils to serve humanity for 67 minutes each day; which stands for the number of years it has taken to fight for human rights. In accordance with the UN International Mandela Day-2022 theme; “Do what you can with what you have, wherever you are;” he counselled the kids to assume responsibility for transforming the world.
He also sent the school “Dhanyavaad India,” a homage to the Indian heroes and heroines; who helped the South African liberation movement, as a sign of friendship and thanks.
