Mandela graces
People’s Post Constantia & Wynberg
|May 20, 2025
Souper Troopers
The late statesman Nelson Mandela stood for dignity and humanity, and that is exactly the ethos of the Souper Troopers, a Woodstock-based organisation.
It is fitting then that a new long-imagined mural of Nelson Mandela is now proudly displayed on Souper Troopers' Humanity Hub, on the corner of Nelson Street.
Souper Troopers works with and advocates for those living on the streets. Its Humanity Hub provides a range of services to help homeless people transform their lives.
The expansive mural was brought to life by the very well-known South African mural artist Stefan Smit.
Kerry Hoffman, the founder and executive director of Souper Troopers, said it had been two years in the making.
"We moved into this building in August 2022. Since moving in we wanted to find an artist that would see the opportunity to collaborate with us and the work we do as a pro-bono project and raise awareness about what we do.
