South Africa Freedom Day: 30 years anniversary of first democratic vote


South Africa is preparing to mark Freedom Day on April 27, 30 years after its first democratic vote when Nelson Mandela’s ANC swept to power. Three decades on, with the economy sluggish and a third of people out of work, many argue the ANC has failed to deliver on the vision of a new, open, and inclusive society with opportunities for all.

  1. Melanie Verwoerd. Clearly, you are delusional as the ANC.
    Aljareeza. South Africa is finished. The anc destroyed it.
    Corruption
    Loss of Goverment Departments including a proudly SA International Airlines SAA
    3. Unemployment
    4. Starvation
    Need I say more Melanie Verword????

  2. What freedom??? Freedom for millions of people to be still living under slum-like conditions presided over by a billionaire President. Over that same period Singapore had move from a country where the vast majority of the people lived under poor housing condtions to where over 90 percent of the population had decent housing. South Afrika is still under ECONOMIC APARTHEID- that's what the sale-out nelson mandela and the opportunists in the ANC agreed to, to get political power. COMPARE resource-rich South Afrika to Singapore which has no natural resources over the same time period and the disparity in accomplishments are as different like night and day.-this only goes to show that PROGRESS will not take place under INEPT CORRUPT leadership and that is what the ANC HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH SINCE IT TOOK OVER FROM THE WHITE COLONIALISTS IN 1994 who still calling the shots behind the scene. South Afrika has been held back by a CORRUPT ANC which has resulted in millions of black SOUTH AFRIKANS to be still living under SLUM-LIKE conditions while the country has a billionaire President. The MAIN reason why the ANC has failed to significantly improve the STANDARD OF LIVING of black south afrikans is because it has been serving the role of Boules in SA since 1994 and it will continue to do so because it lacks AUTHENTIC leadership. Too much excuse for these opportunist corrupt inept mis-leaders in Afrika.

  3. Africa Matters. Even though I am living in the USA, Arizona, I realize that. They had the thoughts and the guts to stand up to the controlled genocidal program that the Israel Jewish government has been running since 1948, the year they became a nation. That year, they deported 750,000 Palestinians out of Israel. Dave in Sierra Vista AZ

  4. There was a time in the '90s, in my youth, when all seemed hopeful and bright in South Africa. In a way, it was our Golden Age and everything seemed to be coming right.

  5. They quickly removed all the engineers over water and electric and put in cronies. The grid is in complete disarray and the waterway is ruined. White farmers were removed and cronies were put in and the fields are almost baren. It's just a matter of time.

  6. Oh, so when do they pay reparations to the thousand of white farmers they’ve slaughtered???? Whatever they get at this point they deserve. None of it good. It’s already collapsing. Smdh. They’ll never learn. 🤷‍♀️ Maybe rhe Chinese will turn them around
