My fellow South Africans, our beloved Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, the founding President of our democratic nation, has departed.

He passed on peacefully in the company of his family around 8.50pm on the 5th of December 2013.

He is now resting. He is now at peace.

Our nation has lost its greatest son. Our people have lost a father.

Although we knew that this day would come, nothing can diminish our sense of profound and enduring loss.

There has been an outpouring of emotion across the world following the death of former President Nelson Mandela. Social media has become an outlet for many South Africans to express their grief and celebrate Madiba’s life and legacy. Here are some of the messages posted on social media platforms.

Government is serious about hitting the ground running when it comes to helping communities that reach out for help and the Eersterust community, east of Pretoria, is no exception.

The revamped Mthatha Airport, which boasts a new R700 million terminal building and runway, is set to change the face of the region’s economy and create a number of jobs.

Aaron Zulu (58) never thought the day would come when he would return to the land of his birth after the apartheid system forced him and his family to leave his home.

A mobile land restitution office will be travelling around KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and the Eastern Cape to make the process of lodging a land claim easier. 

The mobile office, a bus, forms part of government’s Land Restitution Programme. 

The land claims process enables people who were forcibly removed from their land under apartheid to lodge land claims.

KZN only has two lodgement offices, in Pietermaritzburg and Vryheid, and the mobile office will enable people to lodge their claims closer to their homes.

The constantly changing skylines of our country’s major urban centres and the bustle of development in suburban areas tell the story of South Africa moving forward.
