Events







Join UJ's 2012 Mandela Day Initiative - 18 July

Mandela Day was first introduced in 2009, on Madiba’s birthday, to encourage people to dedicate 67 minutes of
their time to making the world a better place.
This year, employees and students of UJ are once again celebrating Mandela Day on 18 July, by giving the gift of reading.
UJ employees will be donating new or old/used children’s books to the children’s wards of various hospitals in the vicinity
of our campuses. Your gift will make a difference to children’s lives – not only for 67 minutes, but for hours, weeks and
months to come.
Please bring children’s book(s) to work on Wednesday, 18 July 2012 and drop it off at any campus entrance.
If you are unable to bring your book(s) on 18 July, you can drop it/them off at the library on your campus beforehand:
APK Library: Vivian Moore
DFC Library: Kedibone Rampou
APB Library: Rose Legoete
SWC Library: Surprise Mauda
