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. ?
