UJW holds a Mandela Day ice-a-thon
The Union of Jewish Women (UJW) Johannesburg ran a cupcake drive to commemorate Mandela Day. They collected more than 3 000 cupcakes, baked with much enthusiasm by members of the community. On Monday, 16 July, they were iced, mainly by children, at a fun Ice-a-Thon event held at Norwood Mall.
