The MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture MEC Nakedi Kekana, joined the Moral Regeneration Movement and the Correctional Services Department to commemorate Mandela Month at the Motsheudi Secondary School in Ga-Sekgopo, Limpopo.
The MEC urged the young learners to be wary of their environment and intent to mimic some of the values which former Statesman Nelson Mandela stood for.
“Nelson Mandela and his exceptional collective of leaders and many South Africans have fought for equality, non-racism and non-sexism. All that could mean nothing if we do not practice gender equality and allow our girl children to be as educated as our boys and to share the same labour in the household. That’s the first line of regenerating the moral campus. We have so much lost”.
The MEC urged the learners to be open in their engagements and equally learn from what the convicted individuals, who also gave speeches at the event, will be instilling in them to ensure that they allow the moral campus to lead them in society.
