Choose your attitude! Be there! Make their Day! Have fun! These simple practices were developed by the workers in Pike Place Fish Market, Seattle, at a point when business was bad, job loss imminent, where doom and gloom was the order of the day and no hope in sight. Sounds familiar? The state of our beloved South Africa, and city post Covid-19 perhaps?

The Mandela Bay Development Agency (MBDA) launched the Green Schools Challenge with 9 participating New Brighton Schools at the Mendi Art Centre at 09:00am on Friday, the 30th of September 2022. This initiative is a follow-up on an intensive five-day clean-up in May earlier this year, when private and public sector joined hands to combat illegal dumping in the area.

The young and old gathered at the Trinder Square on Sunday, 25th September to celebrate Heritage month and to promote social cohesion through live music performances, food stalls, face painting etc.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Science and Technology Centre(NMBSTC) reaches over 30 schools through the National Science Week and the National Science Festival.
