# President Cyril Ramaphosa will lead the national Freedom Day commemoration in Mangaung in the Free State today, marking 32 years since South Africa’s first democratic elections in 1994. The event is held under the theme “Freedom and the Rule of Law: Thirty Years of Democratic Citizenship.” It reflects on the country’s constitutional journey and key milestones, including 30 years of the Constitution and historic liberation struggles. Government, civil society and communities will gather to honour democracy, promote constitutional values, and encourage active citizenship, especially among young people.
