South African national hero Nelson Mandela is 95 years old today. People around the world wants to get involved in the "International Nelson Mandela Day" in honor of Mandela. That his birthday and international day is hyped up this year, is due to the fact that it will probably be his last for the critically ill South African freedom fighter and Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Millions of children and young people sing at their schools by 8am Happy Birthday - and many radio stations play the song at that time.
The South Africans are encouraged to use 67 minutes of their time to a good cause. In appreciation for the 67 years that Nelson Mandela fought for freedom and peace.
