SABC News has chosen to focus on the country’s estimated four million senior citizens this year in honour of Mandela’s long life.
SABC staff in KwaZulu-Natal helped out at the Highway Hospice. Whilst staff at Bloemfontein spent the day with the elderly at the Bikhuco and in Kimberley, SABC staff shared their time and goodwill at the Seochwarang Old Age home.
