Freedom Day, a holiday celebrated in South Africa, commemorates the first elections to take place in the new democratic dispensation in 1994. We look at how the deepening inequalities, which have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, have impacted the social and economic freedoms achieved in South Africa’s democracy.
We speak to Happy Khambule, political Advisor for Green Peace South Africa and Shenilla Mohamed, Executive Director of Amnesty International South Africa. We also get the views of rural transformation Advisor at Oxfam South Africa, Fundiswa Ndlela.
