The Coega Development Corporation (CDC) leadership and staff honoured Nelson Mandela and his legacy by committing the organisation’s resources and “hand power” to two local organisations as part of its Nelson Mandela Day initiative.

The CDC staff painted at Livingstone Hospital – and donated 27 mattresses to its paediatric ward – and then moved through to Cheshire Home for the Disabled in Cleary Park where it also painted and handed over donations from the CDC staff.

CDC Livingstone
The Coega Development Corporation (CDC) put all hands on deck this morning to paint the Livingstone Hospital paediatric ward – and donate some cuddly offerings to its little patients – as part of its 67-minutes initiative for Nelson Mandela Day. With the children in the ward are (from left) Thandi Rayi, CDC’s CSI manager, Bongi Stofile CDC human resources manager, Chris Mashigo, CDC business development executive manager, and Sr Patricia Ndoni.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
