Bree Street in Cape Town’s CBD will be transformed this Mandela Day (July 18) into a giant long table or ‘langtafel’ with space for up to 1 600 people from all walks of life to share a meal.
Organised by local non-profit Young Urbanists, the event invites the public to bring food, buy a meal from participating restaurants, sponsor a meal for someone in need or volunteer. The day will include free bread, a surprise dessert and meals for up to 500 people who might otherwise go hungry.
Running from 12h00 to 17h00, the event offers an opportunity for locals and visitors to celebrate Mandela Day through community, generosity and shared dining.
