Freedom Day, 27 April, is celebrated every year to commemorate the first post-apartheid elections held on that day in 1994. What does Freedom Day mean to you?

KHATHU RAMOVHA: It means nothing to me until we get economic freedom and power including agriculture and mining. So I am not going to spend time celebrating because I need money.
KHATU: I don’t know when it was implemented but I believe it is very significant to South Africans and citizens should celebrate and not forget where they come from.
AMANDA CELE: I haven’t thought about it, but it’s just freedom of culture, expression and love. I don’t have any special plans for it.
NINI ADAMIA: The day gives unity to people and it is a commemoration of what South Africans have been through in the past as they move forward.
