On Tuesday, right on time, he was welcomed by clinic staff and then....67 minutes in the garden!

Is being charitable on
Yesterday, 18 June 2013 was Nelson Mandelas birthday and in celebration many people accross the world donated 67 minutes of their time to do some charitable work. 67 Represents the years Mandela was active in trying to bring change and peace to the world. Some people gave of their time and skills, others donated and delivered food or clothes where it was needed. Burgersfort and surroundings were no different. There are however people who feel that they are tired of giving and giving. That government should be doing more to improve the circumstances of people in South Africa and that they will not be giving a cent or a minute more before they cannot see an improvement from governments side. We asked readers how important is charity work to them. Do they still give? Do they think government is doing enough to assist charities and to relief the need for charity in the country? Most people are keen to be charitable and reach out to others and most feel government is trying its best to assist where needed. One person interviewed wished to remain anonymous. His sympathy was with government. He said: People are unthankful and are making governments job difficult. Government is providing free education and a free meal through the feeding scheme to the children of the poorest of the poor. Education is the key to a better life. Yet, when you walk in Burgersfort you see so many young people who are not going to school. Government provides free condoms at the clinics, but people who cannot afford to raise their children to have a good life, are getting more and more children. The need for charity is not a lack of government support, it is because communities are not working together to get themselves into better circumstances. Read on this page and page 7 what other readers had to say on the subject.
Mr Rustin Moraba, Mr Konana Mabelane and Mr Abuti Komane said: We think it is important to do charity work right through the year. When we know of someone in need we give them food, shelter or many other things depending on the situation. Government is trying to support charitable organisations, but they are not doing enough.
Mr Mark Chukwudi said: To me charity is very important. I sometimes give to orphans. If I see a place where I can help, I do so. Government is trying their best to support charities. They are also charitable through the grants they give to people.
Mr Ludwick Mabanna said: To me charity work is so important. If you find people who are unable to do things, who are in need, you must help them. Not only on the 18th of July when it is Mandelas birthday. Government is helping, but it is not enough. Charity is not only by helping with food and money, but with your time and skills as well. Left: Mr Prince Mongadi said: We do celebrations at my church and then we give presents to the children. Charity is very important. Government is doing enough to support charities and people who need it.
Mr Philip Mkhondo said: Charity is important to me. Ive joined a Charity Circle in Cape Town. Im now donating R70 per month. Ive joined to win some of their prizes, but also to do good. I am a Christian and that is why I will always try to help where I can and will always be honest. Government is trying to support organisations doing good work.
Mnr. Tinus Venter s: Vir my is dit belangrik om liefdadigheid te ondersteun en self liefdadig te wees. Ek dink Mandela het die voorbeeld gestel. Vir my is dit belangrik om veral vir die jeug te gee. Uit die privaatsektor kan daar meer gedoen word. As jy nie gee nie, gaan jy nie terugkry nie. Ons moet vanuit die privaatsektor n voorbeeld vir die regering stel.
Left: Mr Brilliant Malepe said: Government is not doing enough to assist charities and people in need of charity. They only give grants. Sometimes when I see someone in need, Ill give of my old clothes to them or buy them food for lunch.
Ms Sindiswa Tefu and Ms Tumelo Phaswane said: It is important to help others. Especially taking care of orphans is very important to us. Tata Madiba would want us to always help and not just on Mandela Day. Government is doing enough to help people and charities.

Mr Lucky Moganedi and Mr Mandrew Maupa said: Mandela is the father of our nation and he wants us to do good. We sometimes give food and flowers to people, wishing them to have a long life. Government is giving enough donations to help others.
Me. Lilani van Wyk en Me. Leanne Dippenaar s: Charity begins at home. Dit help nie jy doen net een keer n jaar iets nie. As jy nie die inisiatief gebruik om ander te help nie sal niks gebeur nie.
Mnr. Carel Roos s: Liefdadigheidsorganisasies kry nie genoeg hulp van die regering nie. Dit help nie om net op Mandeladag iets vir ander te doen nie. Daar is mense wat kanse vat en kyk wat hulle uit jou kan kry, maar daar is net so baie wat hulp verdien. As ons n gap deur die jaar kry dan help ons soos ons kan of ondersteun projekte soos die Toy Run. Dis vir ons lekker, maar darem vir n goeie doel
Mr Boas Mokwoena said: We must help and do charity all through the year. I think that government is doing enough to assist charitable causes.
Mr Abel Mzimba said: it is very, very important to do charity work and donate. We must help where there is a need. Government is supporting charitable causes but it is not enough. We as communities must commit to help government because the need is growing by the day.
Mr Doctor Masinga said: I help people by transporting them. Ive in the past helped people who needed to get somewhere, but did not have enough money. Ive also found someone who was very hungry and bought him some bread or other food. Government is doing enough. Youll always find them busy helping. We must help during the year.
Mr Lemond Komane said: I want to help other people when they need help. It is important to give to others. Ja, government is doing enough to help charities.
Mnr. Bobby Crause s: Ons bly op die verkeerde plek om te kan liefdadigheid doen. Hier is nie goed soos liefdadigheid nie. Ja, jy moet liefdadig wees. Ons probeer maar so deur die dagsorg wat my vrou het help as daar mense is wat ons weet regtig sukkel. Baie van die ouers sukkel. Dis n groot issue. Die probleem is dat baie van die boemelaars en bedelaars in hierdie area, wit of swart, man of vrou eerder geld as kos wil h want hulle wil gaan drank koop. Ek het eenkeer vir mense op Steelpoort wat ges het hulle is honger, vis en chips, brood en melk gekoop en toe vloek hulle my want hulle wou die geld h. Nou help ek nie meer nie. Nee, die regering doen nie genoeg om waar dit nodig is te help nie.
Left: Mr Petrus Molopo, Mr Aubrey Mphogo, Mr Lucas Sello and Mr Amos Prazeni said: We donate things during the year. Anything we have - money, clothes or food. We give to orphanages and other organisations. Government is not doing enough. People need charities and they struggle to provide everywhere a need exists.

Visitors will be able to move between different points on the route with the free tractor and trailor rides that are on offer. The days vehicle action will end with the usual Show Stopper. This highlight is where a select few vehicles take on a mud pool which is very difficult to negotiate. This will happen in front of the crowd which is expected to be between 7000 and 10 000 people.
