✨LEGACY THURSDAY ✨

On 10 May 2004, Presidents FW de Klerk and Nelson Mandela each addressed a joint sitting of Parliament to mark ten years of South Africa's democratic Parliament.

President FW de Klerk left Parliament with this simple but enduring message:

"I call on all our people now to continue to work together, to take hands and to make our wonderful country a shining example to the rest of the world."

A reminder that South Africa's future has always depended on our willingness to work together.

A huge shout-out to the learners of Hoërskool Jan van Riebeeck for concluding the CCTSA's Mandela Month Campaign: The Walk to Freedom in 67 Minutes.

On Saturday, 1 August 2026, the
CCTSA welcomed an average of 20 learners from Curro Foreshore for an educational tour exploring South Africa's constitutional journey.

The visit supported the Grade 12 CAPS curriculum and helped learners prepare for their upcoming essay, "The Road to Democracy." Through this experience, CCTSA provided learners with the opportunity to engage with the story of our democracy beyond the classroom walls.

Our audio-visual exhibition enriched the learning experience, guiding learners through key moments in our constitutional history. The tour also reflected on the 30th anniversary of the 1996 Constitution and highlighted the important role young people play in becoming active citizens and contributing to ethical, quality leadership in our society.

We thank Curro Foreshore for joining us and look forward to continuing to inspire future generations through education and dialogue.
