🇿🇦Freedom Day in South Africa 🗓April 27 marks one of South Africa’s most important public holidays — Freedom Day. It commemorates the country’s first democratic, non-racial elections held in 1994 after the end of apartheid. On that historic day, Nelson Mandela was elected President. 🗳 For the first time, all citizens aged 18 and older, regardless of race, were allowed to vote. Under apartheid, voting rights for non-white populations were severely restricted. 🌍Freedom Day symbolizes the end of colonialism and apartheid, and the beginning of a new democratic era in South Africa. 📹 Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OKB8EoVqWc. #AboutSA#History#Culture Telegram | MAX | VK
