Freedom Day – But Is It Really Freedom Day In South Africa?

South Africans celebrate 27 years of freedom today – the exact number of years that former president Nelson Mandela spent in prison as punishment for his fight against the apartheid regime.

Mandela was released on the 11th February in 1990 and the country held its first democratic election in April 1994. While we now annually celebrate Freedom Day on the 27th of April, real freedom remains elusive for millions of South Africa.
