TO HONOUR AND CELEBRATE MADIBA’S BIRTHDAY
As
South Africa prepares to celebrate the first anniversary of Madiba’s
birthday since his passing in December last year, there will be many
fitting tributes to honour our country’s
greatest statesman and the father of our nation. One such event will be
a FREE screening of the phenomenally successful film,
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, produced by Anant Singh.
Ster-Kinekor
Theatres, in partnership with the producers of the film, Videovision
Entertainment, The Nelson Mandela Foundation and distributor, United
International Pictures (UIP),
is offering a free public screening across 31 of its cinemas for the
first show of the day
on Friday, 18 July, at 09:45.
As
seating is limited, members of the public who would like to see the
film are encouraged to collect their free tickets (maximum of two
tickets per person) at the selected cinemas
(as listed below) on Friday, 18 July, from 09:00. Tickets will be issued on a first come, first served basis.
Says
Fiaz Mahomed, CEO of Ster-Kinekor Theatres: “Ster-Kinekor is extremely
proud to be associated with this initiative to celebrate and commemorate
the life of a truly global icon
who was revered the world over. Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom
is a fitting tribute to our beloved Madiba and former President, and I
would urge all South Africans to take some time out on the morning of 18
July to go and watch the film.
“His
life lessons, and all that he stood for, need to be shared. For this
reason, and together with our partners in this initiative, we are
honoured to bring the film back on his
birthday. We hope that audiences will leave the cinemas motivated to
serve others and our country more readily.”
Producer
Anant Singh says: “We are delighted to partner with Ster-Kinekor, the
Nelson Mandela Foundation and UIP to make our film available to the
public at no cost. We trust that
the film will make an impact on the audience and inspire them to follow
in Madiba’s footsteps and emulate his example as a servant leader.”
