As part of Mandela Day, a number of competition officials at the Hockey World League Semi-Final in Johannesburg gave up part of their rest day to make a contribution towards the cause. The hockey officials represented nations from all over the world, including the Netherlands, India, England, Belgium, USA and Pakistan.

A philanthropic organisation called Network of Caring invited the people of Johannesburg to spend 67 minutes of their time assisting them with assembly of 150 wheelchairs for distribution in the Eastern Cape, Kwa-Zulu Natal and Namibia as part of the Free Wheelchair Mission. Network of Caring has delivered over 2,500 wheelchairs around the world to those in need.

The figure of 67 minutes is a direct reference to the 67 years that Nelson Mandela campaigned for social justice.
