Members of the Public Can Still Leave Their Message for Madiba

12 December 2013

The City of Cape Town has set up various channels that members of the public can use to leave messages about what the late Nelson Mandela meant to them.

Already tens of thousands of messages have been left in the remembrance books and online. These messages will be collected, bound into a commemorative book and sent to the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory.

Members of the public can visit any of the commemorative sites or Subcouncil offices across the city to lay flowers or write their messages in special remembrance books. Some of the sites close tomorrow, so the City urges residents to capture their messages soon.

The sites will be open as follows:
