JOHANNESBURG - Smile for Madiba.
That is what the Gauteng Government and the Smile Foundation is doing this Mandela Day.
They are carrying out a cleft palate surgery marathon.
It all began 25 years ago, when a mother asked Nelson Mandela to help her daughter with facial paralysis.
Thando Manyathi, the first beneficiary, now works for the Smile Foundation.
Since then, over 5,000 lives have been changed.
