South Africans can still not celebrate freedom from want. They are painfully aware that one cannot eat democracy.

On Freedom Day, South Africans might or should celebrate the fact that they have covered some distance on the road to freedom. But it will remain a long and winding road. As Raymond Suttner, an ANC liberation struggle hero who spent years in solitary confinement, even though elections with all people entitled to vote for the first time was a massive victory, freedom is never finally realised. … It needs to be seen as a concept with an indefinite scope and meaning.

Where there is no fight for it, there is no freedom. The end of minority regimes does not equate freedom. Liberation movements as governments are no guarantee of good governance ensuring equal rights and benefits for all. New regimes often just create space for privileges to a new elite in cohorts with earlier vested interests. They do not live up to the promises made to the ordinary people. Rather, they disclose the limits to liberation.

The old slogan that the struggle continues – a luta continua – is as valid today as it was during the struggle for liberation. The difference is that others now have to carry the torch.This article first appeared in

How can you celebrate freedom day when u don’t have a job, food , housing & health security. Freedom on its own without those basic needs mean nothing. How can million of poor ordinary & unemployed SAn have to struggle in their own country. told by well secured politicians to🤫

It all depends on who one votes for. The majoirty of South Africans cant celebrate freedom so they eat democracy by voting for those who have fokol care for them
