CMG staff volunteers made 360 sandwiches in their canteen in the morning and later handed out soup, bread and a few other goods to the homeless at the Twin Towers Church where the foundation is based.
Staff members from all divisions in Central Media Group, including OFM, web company digital platforms, publishing business Mahareng, event organisers Red Star Talent Agency and staff members from support divisions (such as technical and human resources) all pitched in to do their part.
According to OFM marketing manager Lindiwe Mtwentula, CMG wanted to make a meaningful contribution to the lives of those less fortunate this Mandela Day by doing something small but memorable.
"The aim of Nelson Mandela Day and all who celebrate it is to make a positive difference in someone’s life by giving of your time, your talents or your resources. For our 67 minutes, the CMG staff truly came on board and pitched in to make sure that no homeless person goes to bed with an empty stomach this Mandela day," concludes Mtwentula.
