Freedom Day is a public celebrated holiday in South Africa on April 27, 1994; the first democratic elections were held. The first post-apartheid elections anyone could vote regardless of race, including foreign citizens permanently residing in South Africa, are allowed to vote.
During the apartheid Non-Whites in general had only limited rights to vote while black South Africans had no voting rights whatsoever.
Thanks to the leadership of Nelson Mandela, that vote brought an end to over 300 years of colonialism; segregation and white minority rule and establish democratic government, a new State subject to a new Constitution.
This day also highlights the liberation struggle for freedom and dignity. Even after Freedom Day the country still suffers from economic stagnation from colonialism, slavery and apartheid, the side effects from this has stemmed: poverty, unemployment, inequality and violation of civil rights and disregard for human rights. There is deep-rooted corruption in the political class. A good society creates opportunities for its people, not make things worse.
I’m so disgusted because obviously 10% of the wealthy still control 90% of the wealth. The ancestors hear the cries of the people, South Africa is rich, and the political powers that be are poor in sensitivity to people-mankind itself. All is not in vain.
South Africa (Republic of South Africa) Southern most country in Africa. GDP (PPP): $924 Billion dollars and GDP (Nominal): $419 Billion dollars. (Currency: South African Rand-ZAR).
