What freedom means to me

Wicklow, Ireland – 2008

Today is Freedom Day in South Africa.

On this day in 1994 we had the first free and fair non-racial democratic election in South Africa. Freedom Day is now an annual celebration of those elections.

Fun fact – the first public holiday was declared in 1995.  Dion and I chose 29 April as our wedding day that year so that my family could use the public holiday to travel to Joburg for our wedding. Yes, on Sunday we celebrate 23 years of marriage
