Because while South Africans are giving their 67 minutes this Mandela Day, they also want to be given some things back.
67 -- or at least 6,7 -- hectares of land
For this #MandelaDay all we want is 6.7 hectares each for reconciliation. And acknowledgement that white monopoly capital exists. pic.twitter.com/pa8DHJW2Io

Tweeps are asking government officials to communicate efficiently:
Dear Government, please spend 67 minutes replying to our emails. #MandelaDay

While others are asking them to stick to the truth, even if it's only for 67 minutes.
What can politicians & their benefactors do to celebrate #MandelaDay? May I suggest not stealing for 67 minutes?
