Today we ask you what does freedoms day mean to you in 21st century South Africa. Because to most this is what it means to celebrate this day:
It celebrates freedom and commemorates the first post-apartheid elections held on that day in 1994. The elections were the first non-racial national elections where everyone of voting age of over 18 from any race group, including foreign citizens permanently resident in South Africa,[1] were allowed to vote. Previously, under the apartheid regime, non-whites had only limited rights to vote.
This is what 27th of April meant to Mr President Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela: As dawn ushered in this day, the 27th of April 1994, few of us could suppress the welling of emotion, as we were reminded of the terrible past from which we come as a nation; the great possibilities that we now have; and the bright future that beckons us. And so we assemble here today, and in other parts of the country, to mark a historic day in the life of our nation. Wherever South Africans are across the globe, our hearts beat as one, as we renew our common loyalty to our country and our commitment to its future.
To us as Rustenburg Kloof Holiday Resort: Freedom day means we have the opportunity to bring you out of this world entertainment, affordable accommodation, an unforgettable vacation and the freedom to roam the resort and have fun exploring our acres and acres of land.
