Many South Africans still do not have the dignity of work. With less than half of the South African population being regularly employed, the need for job creation on a significant scale in South Africa is clear. To create jobs requires a concerted effort by individuals and business leaders. 93000 jobs for Mandela Day is therefore not only an initiative to honor Madiba, but aims to inspire individuals and businesses to create jobs for a sustainable future for all in South Africa.
The 93 000 Jobs for Mandela Day campaign is driving job creation by providing a platform for government, the business sector and individuals to show and record their commitment.
In the true spirit of Mandela Day and the intention of making a positive and sustainable contribution, 93000 Jobs for Mandela Day was conceived as partnership initiative between Proudly South African and Media 24 – proud advocates of Nelson Mandela Day.
"We can change the world and make of it a better place. It is in your hands to make a difference."
~ Nelson Mandela (2009)
