About Freedom Day

According to the South African government's website, April 27 this year marks the 30th anniversary of South Africa's first democratic elections. 

This day now known as Freedom Day is commemorated every year to honor those unsung heroes and heroines who fought for South Africa's freedom and paved the way for an equal, representative, non-racial nation.

During this month, the country also reflects on the progress made over its democratic journey thus far and considers how it can further strengthen its democracy.
