HAPPY FRIDAY: Nelson Mandela flash mob rocks the mall

AT 11.30am on a random Saturday morning at the Greenacres Shopping Centre in Port Elizabeth, seemingly regular shoppers and personnel broke into song. The international award-winning Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Choir rocked the house with an impromptu rendition of the national anthem and some popular songs.

The flash mob was part of an awareness campaign to get students to apply to study at NMMU - one of South Africa's leading tertiary education institutions. It was also aimed to coincide with Nelson Mandela Day, whereby South African citizens were encouraged to give up 67 minutes of their time to do some good in the world in recognition of the 67 years that Madiba dedicated towards making our country great.

It would have been so great to have been at Greenacres on that eventful day. Was anyone there?

PROUDLY SA VIDEO: Your weekly mood-booster

There’s a song I often listen to on my way to work that not only psyches me up for the day ahead, but reminds me what a great country we live in. I’ve been wanting to create a video around this song for a while now with the aim of instilling patriotic sentiments and warm & fuzzy feelings in the hearts and minds of all South Africans near and far.

My hope is that this video will give new vigor to what it means to be proudly South African, will make foreigners to our shores feel welcome, and will keep all South Africans positive about their country. Enjoy.

Proudly South African
