Belly2Brain's bold Mandela Day campaign begins with 67-hour cage lock-in and 17 000 sandwich goal
After 67 hours confined in a cage inside Cradlestone Mall, Dominique Tibbles, the founder of Belly2brain, completed her mission to make 17 000 sandwiches for Mandela Day. A very happy Dominique announced they had achieved their goal of making the sandwiches and managed to prepare all of them to donate to those in need, including The Cradle of Hope, The Bethany House Trust, Wings of Inspiration, and the community of Apple Park. Following the emotional rollercoaster of being 'locked up', she said the joy far outweighed the negativity associated with it. She was thrilled to see that over 300 people had come to the mall to help make the sandwiches. 'Usually, we finish making the sandwiches by the afternoon [on Mandela Day]; however, due to all the helping hands, we finished about three hours earlier, and had a thousand more sandwiches than last year!' She is uncertain about doing this initiative again next year. 'Every year I say it is the last time I am doing it, but the next year I do it anyway. I'll rest on it and decide if I'll do it again,' she concluded.

67hrs in a cage! Join Dominique in making a difference this Mandela Day
Mandela Day is around the corner, and Belly2Brain's founder, Dominique Tibbles, is preparing to be locked in a cage once again for 67 hours. Dominique will be doing this from July 15 to 18 to raise funds and feed 17 000 people. 'For many of us, a peanut butter and jam sandwich is a snack, but for others, it may be their only meal for the day,' she said last year. The initiative is called Change2Uncage, and she will be locked up at Cradlestone Mall's Entrance 5, and over the three days, there will be activities for residents, including: • Self-defence classes on July 16 • Paint night on July 17 • Mandela Day sandwich making on July 18 She is calling on the community to support this initiative, and they need as many hands as possible to help them prepare the sandwiches on the last day from 08:00.
