UnFreedom Day in South Africa
April 27, Sunday
However, for some groups, particularly those on the left and activist movements, Freedom Day has become an occasion to criticise current social and economic problems in South Africa. They use the day as an Unfreedom Day to draw attention to inequality, poverty and ongoing forms of oppression.
How Unfreedom Day is celebrated
Protests and rallies. Activist groups organise demonstrations to highlight injustice and inequality.
Discussions and debates. Events are held to analyse the political and economic situation in the country.
Cultural initiatives. Some organisations use the day to hold exhibitions and performances that highlight the struggles of oppressed groups.
