April 27 will always be a milestone in the country’s history.
Twenty years ago, the majority of previously oppressed South Africans exercised their democratic right to vote.
The day marked the end of a painful past and a struggle that claimed many lives, but it also marked the beginning of a new era, a new South Africa.
Today we commemorate Freedom Day - the day South Africans were liberated from oppression, segregation and a white minority domination.
But along with the celebrations, it's a time to reflect on what's been achieved over the past two decades as the country prepares to go to the polls again in less than two weeks' time.
