SEGMENTS FROM A STATEMENT RELEASED ON THE SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT WEBSITE DURING THE 20 YEAR'S OF
DEMOCRACY CELEBRATIONS
This momentous occasion presents an opportunity for us to reflect on how our freedom and democracy were achieved;at the same time South Africans and the rest of the world will look back in history on the progress made in the past 20 years, while looking forward to how South Africans are going to work together to implement Vision 2030.
We are indeed a country that is better off since our first democratic elections. As we approach the 20 years landmark, South Africans must be afforded an opportunity to recall the momentous events leading up to 27 April 1994.
One of the symbolic moments of the exodus from the past was the raising of the new flag in 1994. This moment fittingly affirmed the pride and dignity of an unfolding country and a celebration of humanity. Another significant moment was the merger of Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika and “Die Stem” to form one national anthem in 1997.
Also on 27 April 2000 the new Coat of Arms was launched embracing the collective historical essence of the people of the country.
Government encourages every sector of society to reflect on the progress made and the challenges that the nation has faced over the past 20 years.
The 20-year celebrations will seek to involve all government departments and agencies, organised labour, business, civil society, the academic fraternity, faith-based organisations and the media,and the public in general
