Afternoon Express Celebrates Mandela Day

Tuesday, 16 July
 
Today we celebrate the legacy of Nelson Mandela, fondly known as Madiba! We explore the power of forgiveness, the joy of making dreams come true, and whip up Madiba's favourite comfort food – Oxtail with Umngqusho.

On social media, we would like to know: What did you most admire about Tata Madiba? Share your comments and remember to use #AfternoonExpress

Development Practitioner Tarryn-Lee Bell joins us to shed light on the importance of forgiveness in our lives, echoing Madiba's message of reconciliation.

We are all inspired by Madiba's belief in the power of dreams. Heidi Rowley, Branch Manager of the Western Cape Reach for a Dream organisation, shares heartwarming stories of how they make dreams a reality for critically ill children.

It's time to tantalize your taste buds! Chef Tumi puts a mouthwatering spin on Madiba's favourite dish – Oxtail Stew. Find the recipe here .

While we celebrate Madiba Day, we can't forget about taking care of ourselves! Dermatologist Dr Nomphelo Gantsho joins us, courtesy of E45, to share essential winter skincare tips for keeping your body healthy and hydrated.

Forgiveness can be a challenging journey. Tarryn-Lee Bell returns to offer valuable advice and techniques to help us cultivate a more forgiving mindset and find healing.

In the spirit of giving, we share a delicious recipe for Umngqusho – a creamy samp and bean dish traditionally enjoyed in South Africa.  Clover Butro adds a touch of richness to make this dish truly unforgettable.

Even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Let's all celebrate Mandela Day by sharing, giving, and spreading love in our communities.
