Steyn City Grows Mandela Tree Into Environmental Legacy
Story 1
Steyn City is continuing its tree planting efforts, with a wild olive tree grown from a seed planted by Nelson Mandela nearly 20 years ago now standing on the estate.
Mandela planted the seed during a visit in 2007, before Graça Machel planted the resulting sapling in 2015.
The estate says about one million indigenous trees and shrubs have since been planted across the development, as South Africa expands its national greening efforts.
