As South Africans celebrated Nelson Mandela Day, the country’s most serious issues were pushed aside for the holiday. Little has been done to address some of the most serious issues that South Africa is facing now, including farm murders, white genocide, human trafficking and terrorism. In spite of recent threats of terrorism, South Africans celebrated Mandela’s birthday, July 18, and South Africans were encouraged to do charitable acts to help each other. The date was designated by the UN General Assembly as an international holiday.
