Although we are on Level 1 of the national COVID-19 lockdown, social distancing is still very much important to curbing the virus. The Nelson Mandela Foundation has partnered with Takealot.com to make the foundation’s merchandise for the Mandela Remembrance Walk and Run (MRWR) event available directly to South Africans’ doorsteps.
The MRWR will this year take place on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December as a virtual event and is open to participants across the country and worldwide. The walk is held annually over 5, 10 and 21 kilometres at the Union Buildings to remember the spirit and resilience of Madiba.
Interested individuals can register by completing the event entry forms. Participants will be awarded a unique virtual medal and certificate to confirm their participation in the 2020 Mandela Remembrance Walk and Run.
MRWR merchandise will be made available to participants of the event. The merchandise comprises a T-shirt retailing for R150, a neck gaiter at R80 and a special event face mask at R80. On the other hand, to celebrate the partnership, the Nelson Mandela Foundation will be giving away a coupon for R150 off to first 1000 (one thousand) first-time Takealot shoppers who spend R450 or more across merchandise available on Takealot.com from 1 December 2020 to 31 December 2020.
“We are happy to be able to make Mandela Remembrance Walk and Run merchandise available to regular supporters and participants of the event, while also raising funds to help us implement the social justice mandate we have been given by Madiba,” said Nelson Mandela Foundation CEO, Mr Sello Hatang.
