Today is Mandela Day and the world is celebrating the living icon’s life and taking time to donate 67 minutes of their time to doing good, and to thinking of others. TheMediaOnline trawled around the Twitterverse to see who in media and the celebrity circuit is doing what and where. Our illustration is courtesy of BrandInc whose creative director, Judd Quy, decided to do this little piece of work just because it was a fun project in honour of Madiba’s birthday!
