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.
I think Freedom means having choice over your life and living without fear. I don't think that we have freedom in this country because we can't go wherever we want just because we are afraid of crime. We need to stand together as a nation and support each other to fight what for what we strongly believe into and build the new nation, because it seems like the apartheid legacy still exist
ReplyDeleteThe are many thing that people think is freedom to them but,i congratulate you for seeing freedom as a choice,because in the apartheid era people had no choice at all,but us young people today we are free,free to do whatever we feel like doing in our own time.
DeleteApartheid still exist where people are not educated enough.
well i think this is a great opportunity for every south african citizen to go to the event and be educated on how far we have come and ofcourse network with people who might have an influence on your life. its time we stop seeing this day as one of those free days for partying and learn more about how and why exactly was it even made a holiday.
ReplyDeleteTrue that,It is time that we know as South Africans and Africans that this coutry belong to us all.It is not a country of a specific race only,but is for us all.Thank you for the comment even fot the past 7 blog you remaind faithful thank you.
Deletemost peaple have no idea of what is freedom is,what is the history of this day, what happened until we get this freedom we have. people especially the youth need to be thought on what freedom is
ReplyDeleteThe government has to take note of this,because as a country we can't affort to have people without vision and goal.If one those not know his/her history those not have a future.
DeleteMany people think freedo is more about them than the country as whole.Freedom is for us all as a country.And we must always take a note that history is important for us all,to grow up knowing where we are going.
Deletethis is great event the church is planning because i think people should know what freedom day means especially the youth
ReplyDeleteGrace thank you for the comment,but for your correction this is not a church event is a national event taking place at Pretoria is Church street.Take a note for that.The youth of SA still have work to do.
