Freedom Day

Freedom Day, South Africa

April 27, 2008 in culture | by Jeffrey

The 27th of April is celebrated in South Africa as Freedom Day. In 1994 elections where held that where the first to be inclusive of all the peoples of South Africa regardless of race. This vote was, in my opinion, was the largest victory of the struggle against Apartheid.

The day is still celebrated through out the country least people forget the struggle and sacrifice of all the people who fought for freedom. Events are organized to showcase the unity of the different ethnic and cultures of the area. It is hoped that people will celebrate the freedom they enjoy.
