20 YEARS OF FREEDOM

In 2014 South Africa celebrates 20 Years of Freedom and democracy. This momentous occasion presents an opportunity for us to reflect on how our freedom and democracy were achieved; the progress we have made the past 20 years; and on how South Africans will work together to implement Vision 2030.

•Our Constitution lays the basis for the construction of a democratic, non-racial, non-sexist, united and prosperous society based on justice, equality, the rule of law and the inalienable human rights of all.

20 YEARS OF FREEDOMcontinue

• One of the symbolic moments of the exodus from the past was the raising of the new flag in 1994. This moment aptly affirmed the pride and dignity of an unfolding country and a celebration of humanity.

• Another significant moment was the merger of Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika and “Die Stem” to form one national anthem in 1997.

20 YEARS OF FREEDOMcontinue

• On 27 April 2000 the new Coat of Arms was launched embracing the collective historical essence of the people of the country.
