December 16 is considered as one of the most historic and notable days in the history of South Africa, this day still stands as a reminder of where we come from, where we are and where we are going as a united nation. Although commemorated differently during apartheid, this day has since the onset of democracy, been used to foster reconciliation and national unity.
In line with government’s initiatives, Freedom Park will celebrate the day by fulfilling its mandate, which is to remember and honour men and women who lost their lives in the struggle for freedom and humanity and to foster social cohesion and nation building in the country.
