We hold in our hands, the most precious gift of all: Freedom.

The freedom to express our art. Our love. The freedom to be who we want to be. We are not going to give that freedom away and no one shall take it from us.--Diane Frolov and Andrew Schnider

May we not forget our dark past, but utilise it in continually working to achieve a free and democratic South Africa for all who inhabit it. Let us celebrate this day in commemoration of our country’s first democratic post-Apartheid elections held in 1994 and remember those who fought for the freedom we enjoy today; but most importantly, celebrate ourselves as we strive for a greater South Africa.
