"Let us think about what kind of South Africa we would like to inherit. I do believe that it's the kind of South Africa that all of us worked hard in our own way; saying I'm not going to wait for handouts, I'm going to be educated and dedicated to working even harder than my parents," she said.
South Africans across the country are marking the late former president's birthday by giving 67 minutes of their time to community service.
