On Monday morning local time, the students sang 'Happy Birthday' before starting the lesson. The song was sung as a special birthday gift for Mandela.
A motorcycle group calling itself 'Bikers for Mandela' first celebrated by exploring South Africa on their saddle. Not just a bike ride, this group is doing some volunteer activities, such as painting the playground and planting trees. Their journey is scheduled to end on this day in Pretoria.
