Happy Freedom Day from South Africa
Freedom Day is a South African public holiday celebrated on April 27. It celebrates freedom and commemorates the first post-apartheid elections held on this day in 1994. The elections were the first non-racial national elections where everyone of voting age of over 18 from any race group was allowed to vote. Previously, under the apartheid regime, non-whites had only limited rights to vote.
So I am just going to chill today, the weather is awesome and we are going to have a braai (barbeque)…

Happy Freedom Day. Even those of us not in SA are inspired by the progress that has been made there.
