Listen: South Africa Celebrates Freedom Day!
South Africans celebrate Freedom Day on April 27th, the day back in 1994 when the first post-apartheid democratic elections were held in their country. Nelson Mandela of course won a resounding victory and he stuck to his principle of “forgive but don’t forget.” We delved into our archives to celebrate with the passionate stories and music of Hilda Tloubatla of the Mahotella Queens, Tandiswa Mazwai, Ray Phiri, Dorothy Masuka, Kabelo, and others remembering that glorious day.
