Celebrating #FreedomDay - The mark that made a difference #makeyourmark

South Africa celebrates Freedom Day on the 27th April to mark the emancipation of the country and its people from apartheid. In 1994 on 27th April the first democratic election was held in South Africa, this paved the way towards a new democracy and a new constitution for the country.

Remembering the mark that made a difference in 1994, Brand South Africa's Constitutional Awareness programme, in collaboration with Freedom Park, will host intergenerational dialogues, in order to inspire constitutionalism, tolerance and constructive expression #makeyourmark.

Ahead of Freedom Day on 27th April 2018, Brand South Africa will encourage youth participation in the Freedom Day programme and other days of national significance to guide in constructing an intergenerational future for the country through the lessons of the past.

Brand South Africa is also driving dialogues on social media platform through its campaign - The Mark That Made a Difference #makeyourmark on the progress South Africa has made in the past 24 years.

Under the theme - "Our Freedom Charter, Constitution: The Bill of Rights, the fundamental rights of every South African"
