From The Desk Of Our Principal

-Noeleen Naidoo

On the brink of an elec琀椀on we have the topic of FREEDOM.

Letís explore what this day means for South Africans.

This day reminds us of the immeasurable sacrifices made by individuals and na琀椀ons to break the chains of injus琀椀ce and segrega琀椀on.

It’s a day that reminds us of the efforts of our na琀椀onal heroes, in par琀椀cularly our beloved Madiba.

It is a day that not only marks the emancipa琀椀on of South Africans from apartheid but also returned essen琀椀al human rights.

On the journey of progress and to right the wrongs we have allowed a different type of injus琀椀ce. Yet again as South Africans, mul琀椀tudes are without essen琀椀al human rights.

This Freedom Day, we find ourselves pivo琀椀ng towards thoughts of what truly unifies us as a country? Has the landscape of the marginalized really changed?

Isabel Allende said, What I fear most is power with impunity. I fear abuse of power, and the power to abuse.

This seems to be the story of South Africa, be it pre or post libera琀椀on. If struggle is what unifies us, our story needs to be rewri琀琀en.

Together we can change the script, together we can make choices for a be琀琀er, brighter tomorrow, together we can leave a legacy of hope and unity.

ITíS TIME to >>>

Sound the call to come together, And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.

Happy Freedom Day South Africa

Freedom Day

Freedom Day on 27 April is an annual celebra琀椀on of South Africa's first non-racial democra琀椀c elec琀椀ons of 1994. It is significant because it marks the end of over three hundred years of colonialism, segrega琀椀on and white minority rule and the establishment of a new democra琀椀c government led by Nelson Mandela and a new state subject to a new cons琀椀tu琀椀on.

CELEBRATING FREEDOM

The 27th of April this year marks the 30th anniversary of South Africa’s first democra琀椀c elec琀椀ons. This day now known as Freedom Day is commemorated every year to honour those unsung heroes and heroines who fought for our freedom and paved the way for an equal, representa琀椀ve, non-racial na琀椀on. During the month, we also reflect on the progress made over our democra琀椀c journey thus far and consider how we can further strengthen our democracy.

Earth Day

The 22nd of April is Earth Day! No ma琀琀er how you choose to honour nature, make it posi琀椀ve. We need a healthy Planet Earth to thrive, and Planet Earth needs us.

EARTH DAY 2024

The unwavering commitment is to end plas琀椀cs for the sake of human and planetary health, demanding a 60% reduc琀椀on in the produc琀椀on of all plas琀椀cs by 2040.

WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

Volunteer:

Millions of people will take part in Earth Day, and it is hoped that many will volunteer to improve the environments where they live. This could involve anything from cleaning up li琀琀er to helping plant new trees.

Focus on educa琀椀on:

It's only by focusing on the next genera琀椀on that the environmental fight can con琀椀nue. Educa琀椀on about environmental challenges and individual ac琀椀ons we can all take, such as recycling, can all help.

Plant a tree:

Plan琀椀ng a tree in a local park or garden is a simple but effec琀椀ve way to celebrate Earth Day.

Be an ar琀椀st for the Earth:

Crea琀椀ng art can play a huge part in capturing the public’s imagina琀椀on and helping to spread the message of environmental urgency.
