The initiative comes as part of departmental Nelson Mandela International Day commemorations. The celebrations started with DSAC officials cleaning the iconic facility  which is found in the heart of Galeshewe township.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The planting of a citrus tree and Nelson Mandela rose at the centre responds to this year's focus of encouraging people to promote community and backyard gardens, supporting fruit and indigenous tree planting, and creating awareness of the intersections between food security and climate change.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
