67 blankets for Madiba
Who would have thought knitting would turn out to be hip and is being done for a good cause? Darren shows how invested people are in this movement.
67 Blankets for Madiba Day started as a challenge but has quickly grown into what some are calling a movement.
It’s captured the attention of the Minister of Arts & Culture, Paul Mashatile, Hugh Masekela, Angela Kilian, Tim Moloi, Michael de Pinna, Nondumiso Tembe, Samantha Peo and Judy Ditchfield as well as corporates and do-gooders in Australia, London, the US and India.
Carolyn Steyn, the founder of 67 Blankets for Madiba Day was at The Beverly Hills Hotel last night thanking Durban for their support of her campaign.
She also announced that her ambition is to set a world record with blankets at the Union Buildings.

The durban ladies were so busy trying to hit that target that they brought their needles and wool with them to the cocktail party.
They wouldn't even look up for these pictures.
