Reaching the milestone of 30 years of Democracy calls for celebration & deep reflection on freedom in South Africa. The 1994 elections marked the first free vote, dismantled apartheid, & empowered all citizens. As the nation votes on election day, democratic freedoms are upheld.

Our response is yes! Your vote is for all of us.
