This year’s Freedom Day will be observed under the theme “Consolidate our Democratic Gains”.
According to the Presidency, “Part of the backdrop to Freedom Day 2022 is the 25th anniversary of South Africa’s Constitution, the country’s ending of the COVID-19 national state of disaster, the response currently to a natural disaster in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, and the implementation of the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan.”
The Presidency adds, “This national day honours the masses of South Africans who suffered under and resisted apartheid, and faced repression by security forces, death, injury, forced removals, discrimination and other injustices which the global community classified as a crime against humanity.”Last year, Freedom Day was celebrated at the Charlotte Maxeke Recreational Centre at Botshabelo in the Free State.
On the occasion, President Ramaphosa said, ” The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a devastating impact not only on public health, but on our economy. Many people have lost their jobs. Businesses have been forced to close. Families are struggling to make ends meet. The task of rebuilding our society and our country is a great one.
Same guy widely reported to be behind: 1 Marikana 2. Deny freedoms with lockdowns, 3 And freedom of speech thru laws that label us instigators/inssurractionist for calling his government out 4 Jailing a former president & opponent 5 Attacking our Public PROTECTOR OXYMORON
