As seems to be tradition, with Tata Madiba’s birthday celebrated mid-winter, it was a frosty morning at the Cape of Good Hope SPCA when volunteers began to arrive for Mandela Day 2022.
First to arrive was Dani Maia from OnePlan Pet Insurance, with a can of beautiful blue paint which she and a couple of our regular volunteers set to painting our walls in the car park. Instantly brightening the area, they also helped cover up some unsightly spray paint that was there.
Dani had more suprises up her sleeve, as later in the morning a Montego Pet Nutrition van pulled in with food donations and blankets from One Plan.

There were many members of the public who dropped in throughout the day with donations of pet food, blankets and even some apples and pears for our farm yard friends. Donations came in for spays and neutering, oat hay for our Farm Yard and Horse Care and Unit as well as monthly subscriptions to keep paying it forward in remembrance of Mandela Day.
You can still make a difference!
