Nelson Mandela Day 2026

Nelson Mandela's speech at the Joint Education Trust (the forebear of JET Education Services) Annual Review in 1996.

Today, 18 July 2026, we honour the legacy of Nelson Mandela by reflecting on his words at the Joint Education Trust (the forebear of JET Education Services) Annual Review in 1996.

In this speech, Madiba reminds us of the power of partnership, unity, and investing in education to build a better future for all South Africans. As we celebrate International Nelson Mandela Day, may we remember that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a lasting difference.
