Founder and chair of the Thembekile Mandela Foundation and the daughter of Nelson Mandela's late eldest son Thembekile Mandela, Ndileka, will start Monday morning cleaning up a municipality office followed by a lunch for 500 people to mark the UN sanctioned Nelson Mandela Day.

Speaking on Morning Live, she says Mandela family members are in different places around the country taking part in different initiatives.

She says, "We are all involved in some way or another in the 67 minutes as instructed by my grandfather."

Her foundation will also use the day to launch the freedom walk where corporates are encouraged to join in to touch the lives of 67 communities matching the 67 minutes.

"We want to uplift communities especially rural communities with infrastructure development, computer labs, science labs as well as libraries."

Mandela says she is hoping that the programme can be extended to the rest of Africa.
