Freedom Day in South Africa, commemorating the first democratic elections in 1994 symbolises the triumph of democracy over apartheid's oppression.
It celebrates the collective efforts of those who fought for justice, echoing Mandela's strides toward equality, signifying unity in diversity, and reflecting Mandela's vision of a dignified nation.
This day calls upon us to continue the journey with determination, ensuring that every citizen walks with dignity, and reminds us of our commitment to building a future where freedom and equality prevail.
