SABC News has been volunteering for the elderly in Johannesburg, Durban and Bloemfontein last week ahead of the third Nelson Mandela International Day.
The national public broadcaster's news team, colleagues, family members and friends are offering their time and services to four old-age homes, associations and centres; Highway Hospice, Lapa-La-Botlhe, Itlhokomeleng and Frederic Place.

SABC News has chosen to focus on the country's estimated four million senior citizens this year in honour of Mandela's long life.
SABC staff in KwaZulu-Natal helped out at the Highway Hospice. Whilst staff at Bloemfontein spent the day with the elderly at the Bikhuco and in Kimberley, SABC staff shared their time and goodwill at the Seochwarang Old Age home.
