Freedom Day is an annual celebration of South Africa’s first non-racial democratic elections of 1994. It is significant because it marks the end of years of colonialism, segregation and white minority rule and the establishment of a new democratic government led by Nelson Mandela.
In his welcome Speech Ambassador Vusi Bruce Koloane spoke out against the recent xenophobic violence in his country. The Government of South-Africa has strongly condemned the attack. Koloane said South Africa belongs to all who reside in her. Furthermore, Ambassador Koloane looks forward to the perpetuation of the bilateral relationship between his country and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
