Madiba strokes in aid of feral cats
One of the more unique initiatives on Madiba Day on Friday saw Ushaka Aquatics proudly host the inaugural Mandela Day 67-minute Fundraiser Swim Challenge in aid of Project Feral Cat.
Participating swimmers were asked to secure sponsors for each 25m lap completed, with all funds and food raised donated to the project.
Ushaka swimmers, along with several other community entrants, completed an impressive total of 1 406 laps at the Brackenham municipal pool.

Ushaka swimmer Handre van Schoor, a junior national swimmer, completed an impressive 186 laps, with female swimmer Dominic de Jager completing 130 laps in their 67 minutes.
Hiranya Moodley from Ushaka secured the highest sponsorship.
'Ushaka is grateful to all swimmers, supporters and sponsors, and hopes to next year grow the event and secure even further support for Project Feral Cat,' said event organiser Shirley Davidson.
