UN urges public to devote 67 minutes to celebrate Mandela's Birthday

To mark the second annual Nelson Mandela International Day, 18 July 2011, the United Nations is encouraging people around the globe to perform 67 minutes of public service – one minute for every year of the South African leader's own service to humanity.

The call is part of the "Take Action! Inspire Change" campaign by the Mandela Foundation in recognition of the contributions made by Mandela, as a human rights lawyer, freedom fighter, prisoner of conscience, international peacemaker, and the first democratically-elected president of a free South Africa.

"Together, the best way we can thank Nelson Mandela for his work is by taking action for others and inspiring change," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in a message for the Day.

In November 2009, the UN General Assembly declared 18 July – Mandela's birthday – Nelson Mandela International Day in recognition of the former South African President's contribution to the culture of peace and freedom.

In a separate video message, Ban called on people everywhere to embrace Mandela's message to change the world and make it a better place.

"Tutor a child. Feed someone less fortunate. Care for your environment. Volunteer at a hospital or community centre. Be a part of a global movement to make the world a better place," Ban said.

"Together, we can help people achieve the dignity and liberty that is their birthright. That is the best way we can honour Nelson Mandela."

To mark Mandela's 93rd birthday on Monday, senior officials, diplomats and staff from the UN will gather in New York's Central Park to perform public service.

Also in New York, an interactive exhibit called "Take Action! Inspire Change" will be displayed at UN Headquarters, where visitors can learn about Mandela through a range of video and audio materials, as well as make their pledge to "67 minutes of service" in a message that will be sent to Mandela himself.

Other UN offices around the world will also mark the Day by undertaking activities in their local communities.

Winnie Mashaba Happy With New Album

Multi-award winning gospel songstress Winnie Mashaba is happy with the success of her 11th studio album, Modimo O Na Le Nna (God is with me).

She says the 14-track offering, which was released just before Easter this year, is a blessing from God.

“He (God) is always there for us in times of sorrow and happiness. This album is just another blessing from him. We must praise him all the time.”

Two of the disk's best songs, “Rea Go Boka” and “Modimo O Na Le Nna”, are on high rotation on commercial radio stations and they are also receiving rave reviews from industry critics.

The album features productions from renowned gospel singer Benjamin Dube, who is also her mentor. She also worked with lesser-known vocalists Zanele Zondo, Mjita Bafana and Mbali Vilakazi, who helped her on the track “Liya Sindisa”.

“I dedicate this album to all my fans that have been with me since day one,” says the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) member.
