Freedom day should not taken slightly by young people.

MBOMBELA – Young South Africans wished to pay their respects to the former president, Mr Nelson Mandela on Freedom Day as a sign of gratitude for leading the country to democracy and out of oppression.
It was also an opportune time for them to urge the born-frees, those born in 1994 and later, not to take the day lightly, but to celebrate the birth of real freedom in the country. Mr Vusi Mathenjwa of Msogwaba said, “Come May 7, the born-frees are going to vote for the first time in history. I urge all South Africans to make their vote count because that is part of our freedom.”
“I just wish Nelson Mandela was still alive
to celebrate this day with us and to see how happy our children are because of him,”
Mr Collen Dlamini added.
“I just hope Nelson Mandela’s legacy continues to rule South Africa,” said
Mr Busi Mhlanga of KaBokweni.
“On Freedom Day, I will pray that South Africa develops as it is supposed to and I will also pray for an end to corruption,”
Ms Nonhlanhla Mazibuko said.
“I am happy that we are free and there is no more apartheid. On May 7 we are going to vote because we want to see our country grow,” Mr Alex Nonyane added.
“I wasn’t alive during apartheid, but had heard from my mother and at school, about what happened during those times when white people were in power.
“I pictured everything in my mind and realised that it was not fair. So, I will respect the day and I celebrate this freedom with my parents,” said 19-year-old Ms Kuvonakala Leshaba.
