Hi Stacey, thank you for checking out our blog! Because we’re based in Johannesburg, the majority of our NGO partners are up here (that said, we’re always on the lookout for people doing good things in other parts of the country). We had a look around and found this list for you (thank you Cape Town Magazine): http://www.capetownmagazine.com/mandela-day – hope it helps! Please visit again.
