Mandela Day: 67 minutes of goodwill
Mandela Day initiatives are often not just 67 minutes of goodwill, but have a lasting impact on the lives touched.
In commemoration of Mandela Day, Jacaranda FM and iSchool Africa launched an iPad Drive today.
They're now asking you to donate your unused iPads which will be repaired and donated to schools.
Foundation: Make every day a Mandela Day
The aim is to help pupils improve their digital literacy.

Mandela Day commemorates the birthday of the late Nelson Mandela.
He would have celebrated his 99th birthday this year.
In Cape Town, Madiba's widow Graca Machel led scores of people through the streets of the Mother City to commemorate Mandela Day.

The event was led by the Elders, a forum of leaders set up by the former statesman, 10 years ago.
Businessman and philanthropist Richard Branson also participated in the commemorative walk.
Great to see everyone on a very special #MandelaDay
