Do South Africans fully appreciate the meaning of Freedom Day, the day our nation broke out of bondage? This week’s online discussion, Democracy: Guarding Our Freedom, was about watering the garden of democracy.
As part of this year’s celebration of Freedom Day and as the 2021 local government elections approach, Daily Sun is hosting a webinar about how we all protect that hard won freedom. Often we take our daily freedoms for granted, but many of them are only possible because we live in a democratic state. Democracy is not a lofty ideal, it is in the lived experience of each of us, each day. Safeguarding democracy is not an event, it is a process – an ongoing one that requires vigilance and commitment from us all. Mondli Makhanya, editor-in-chief of City Press, will facilitate a discussion between Justice Albie Sachs, retired Constitutional Court judge; Professor Thuli Madonsela, law faculty trust chair in social justice, Stellenbosch University and Thuma Foundation Founder; current president of the South African Principals Association, Thomas Hlongwane; and Dr Nomsa Masuku, deputy chief electoral officer responsible for outreach at the Independent Electoral Commission.
