We are Free

What does freedom mean to you?

Does it mean partying the whole weekend, and doing drugs like the world is coming to an end? Does it mean disrespecting our parent and sometimes act as if they are not alive? From Public Relations point of view this is not the way to behave and act .As a young South African this should be in your mind right now that people like Nelson Mandela, Steve Biko, and all freedom fighter,the country cannot afford to have losers. It took 27 years of Man's lives in order for us to have the freedom we have today. Tata Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela the man of vigour, he has done his part. So much sacrifice, but we take it slightly and we think is a joke. 

 

 Let us stand together as a nation and fight whatever seems like corruption and the real corruption. As we celebrate our Freedom, according to http://www.info.gov.za/ Freedom Day is a national event celebrated annually to commemorate South Africa's first non-racial democratic elections that took place on 27 April in 1994 and ushered the country into freedom and democracy.

You are all invited to the celebration that is taking place in Pretoria Union Building, Church Street North of Arcadia. There is going to be an entertainment after few speech one from the President Mr Jacob Zuma. This is an opportunity to shake hands with well-known people face to face. The theme of this year is working together to build unity and prosperity. The will be music from Black Coffee to Zakes Bantwini and Many more South African singers .Drumming, singing and dancing are also to be expected, with international cultural groups from Zimbabwe, Burundi, Angola and Rwanda also participating. This sound very interesting, come and see with your own eyes.

The movie for Today

Do you want a Good Laugh?

Then this blog is just for you,you are on the right site on the right time. The movie called by 21 Jump Street it's fun all the way.Based on the popular TV series,this migration to the big screen can easily turn into a franchise, especially with the magical teaming of Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, playing two likely misfits who were enemies in high school and become unlikely friends in Police Academy.

Jonah Hill and Channing Tatuma

Not merely a hilarious riot

With 21 Jump Street, this comical journey to redemption is not merely a hilarious riot, but also a moving coming-of-age story that poignantly explores the boundaries of friendship and tests the endurance of being buddies who can really trust each other (as well as some trying circumstances) without ever having to question or doubt the outcome.

Tatum is in his element as the jock who needs to eat humble pie, and Hill is in top form as the nobody who gets an opportunity to taste the glory of fame.  

If you are looking for a clean-cut comedy with bite, in which anything is possible and almost everything happens, 21 Jump Street will definitely kick-start your day, proving that you don't have to be rude to be funny.
