Freedom Day represents peace, unity, and the restoration of human dignity of all South Africans. We call on our community, our neighbours, our government, faith-based organisations, civil society, and every citizen of this great Country, to stop those individuals and organisations who use hate speech and incite violence, in the name of freedom and peace. There is no place for hate in our society.
We all deserve to live in a South Africa, where everyone will enjoy freedom from the evils of prejudice, discrimination, and racism, one in which all are equal and share in her bounty.
“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” Nelson Mandela
