20 years ago on April 27 South Africans voted in the first democratic elections.
This day is etched in history as one that united people across the country and gave a taste of freedom, hence April 27 each year is commemorated as Freedom Day.
It is a day that reminds some of their very first vote and reminds others that they are born in a country where democracy and freedom are celebrated.
This year marks 20 years of democracy in South African and numerous events have been planned nationally to mark this milestone.
One of the main Freedom Day events will be the celebration at the Union Buildings. How will you be spending Freedom Day?
