Honouring Mandela Day: Small Acts, Big Impact at ITC Hospitality Group

Every year on 18 July, South Africans and people around the world come together to honour the legacy of Nelson Mandela — a symbol of peace, unity, and service. At ITC Hospitality Group, we believe that meaningful change begins with small, consistent actions — a value deeply rooted in our team and the communities we serve.

Mandela Day is not just a date — it’s a call to action.

This year, the Mandela Day global theme is “It is in your hands, to combat poverty and inequality”, reminding us that each of us has the power to uplift others. Whether it’s supporting a local cause, offering time to a community initiative, or simply making a guest feel more at home, our 67 minutes can be a catalyst for something greater.

How ITC Hospitality Group, Is Getting Involved

At ITC Hospitality Group, we’re committed to being more than just a provider of premium serviced apartments. We are part of a broader community — and Mandela Day gives us a special moment to give back in impactful ways.

This year, our team is:

• Partnering with CCID to clean the streets of Cape Town.

• Volunteering time to uplift hospitality students through mentorship and skills development.

• Encouraging staff to participate in small acts of kindness, from clothing donations to joining a cleanup in the city.

Living the Mandela Legacy Year-Round

Mandela Day reminds us of the importance of empathy, service, and unity — values that align perfectly with the ITC Hospitality Group guest experience. From the moment you check into one of our centrally located, fully serviced apartments, we aim to reflect the same warmth and dignity that Mandela inspired.
