The country marks 30 years of democracy following the 1994 all race elections.

South Africa has done well to empower women over the last three decades of freedom. This according to President Cyril Ramaphosa in his address during the Freedom Day celebrations at the Union Buildings earlier on Saturday.Today’s celebrations were attended by thousands of South Africans as well as Deputy President Paul Mashatile and former President Thabo Mbeki among others.“The women of South Africa have stood up for themselves.

He says the growing gap between the rich and poor is threatening the gains made in the last 30 years of democracy. “We know that despite our achievements, South Africa remains a highly unequal society. Crime, especially crimes of violence against women and children, are a scourge in our communities. Despite great progress, many households do not have electricity or clean water. There are still many families that go hungry. There is a huge divide between the rich and the poor. At times, it seems that these challenges threaten to undermine the achievements we have made over the past thirty years.
