The 18th of July 2018 would have been Nelson Mandela’s 100th birthday.
To celebrate and commemorate this remarkable man and his legacy, South African Airways (SAA) have announced a 3 day sale on flights to South Africa with all-inclusive airfares (to Johannesburg) from $ 1167.00.
Tim Clyde-Smith, South African Airway’s Country Manager for Australasia said ‘Nelson Mandela has left an incredible legacy for South Africa and the rest of the world. SAA are celebrating his 100th birthday, his extraordinary life and the 67 years he spent serving his country.’
The 18th of July is also recognised internationally as ‘Mandela Day’. First recognised by the United Nations in 2009, Mandela Day is a global call to action that celebrates the idea that each individual has the power to transform the world and the ability to make an impact.
Each year on the 18th of July, Nelson Mandela’s contribution is commemorated in South Africa by individuals giving 67 minutes of their time to make a positive contribution in their communities or to alleviate the hardships and poverty of those less fortunate.
SAA are encouraging people to discover the legacy of Nelson Mandela through travelling to South Africa on this special fare. Travel to the place of his birth in the Eastern Cape and his modest home in Vilakazi Street Soweto. Visit Cape Town to take the ferry to Robben Island where he spent eighteen of the twenty-seven years of his incarceration and stand at the steps of City Hall where he made his first public speech hours after he was given his freedom.
The sale is on from the 18th of July until the 21st of July. Book online at flysaa.com, call 1300 435 972 or contact your preferred travel agent to book.
