ADVERTORIAL
Mandela Day on 18 July 2011 was without a doubt one of the
highlights with all nine faculties joining forces to pay tribute to
the legacy of an exceptional leader. The University students
and staff did community service at three Johannesburg
hospitals, performing tasks that had been identified by the
hospital CEO's as essential needs. The five needs identified
were a cleaning campaign and gardening services; art
activities for the children and the painting of walls and
murals; cooking and washing dishes; reading for children
and the distribution of books; and distributing food hampers
and toiletries to patients. With these activities in mind, the
students and staff of each campus gathered on the morning
of 18 July to march to their respective hospitals, UJ banners
flying proudly.
More than 600 students and staff members from the four
campuses assisted at Helen Joseph, Chris Hani
Baragwanath and Charlotte Maxeke Academic Hospital,
formerly known as the Jo'burg Gen.
