The 702 Jozi My Jozi Walk the Talk will return to Johannesburg on Sunday, 26 July 2026, taking thousands of participants through the inner city on three routes starting and finishing at Ellis Park. The event, hosted by Radio 702 in partnership with Jozi My Jozi and supported by the City of Johannesburg, will use the annual walk to highlight Joburg’s heritage, architecture, urban renewal and the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness. Participants can choose a 5 km, 8 km or 15 km route through several well known Johannesburg precincts.

Gauteng residents will gather at the Sharpeville Human Rights Precinct on Saturday, 18 July 2026, for the second annual SINAM Health and Wellness Day, a Mandela Day initiative combining physical activity, blood donation and community support. Organised by SINAM 1960 NPC, the event will begin with registration logistics from 6:30 and a 5 km fun walk at 7:00, followed by aerobics and a blood drive from 10:00 to 15:00. The programme matters now as communities across Gauteng mark Nelson Mandela Month through activities linked to health, participation and practical support for others.

South Africa is commemorating Nelson Mandela Month throughout July 2026, with residents, organisations and communities encouraged to dedicate time to tackling poverty and inequity ahead of Nelson Mandela International Day on 18 July.

Participants heading to the 702 Walk the Talk can use Gautrain and PRASA services to travel to Ellis Park Stadium, where the 2026 event begins. Gautrain and PRASA are the official transport partners for the walk, offering a rail connection for people taking part in the 5km, 8km and 15km routes.
