There are other ladies who also knit for newborn babies such as one lady who knitted 67 jerseys for Mandela Day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>De Kock adds that the bridge project is about reminding people of Mandela\u2019s legacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBuilding communities, spreading warmth and kindness and reminding us of the dream of the rainbow nation. I always say if one person goes home and says \u2018You wouldn\u2019t believe what happened to me today\u2019 and the positive effect of that circles, I feel that we achieved our goal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She adds: \u201cIt is very enriching to see the joy on others\u2019 faces when they choose a scarf or beanie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe items are for anyone and we attach a card that reads: \u2018If you are cold or need a hug, then pick a scarf that you like\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_2495409b\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/8888\/bb2109673044426ea4332f9048174d8c.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/c4c39524fb524e01a4430f6023ba57bc.jpg\" title=\"Beanies and scarfs are hung on the Thesen pedestrian bridge in Muizenberg, free to anyone on Mandela Day.PHOTO: Muizenberg Craft Share\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Beanies and scarfs are hung on the Thesen pedestrian bridge in Muizenberg, free to anyone on Mandela Day.PHOTO: Muizenberg Craft Share<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On Tuesday, the community brought along beanies they created to add to the bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is really starting to be a ripple effect of people caring and sharing the love.
