"The Freedom Day holiday celebrates the first democratically-held elections in South Africa back in 1994," said Marc Cavaliere, executive vice president, the Americas for South African Airways. "On this holiday, South Africans honor the strides that have been made to ensure a democratic South Africa and a better life for all. As the national flag carrier of South Africa, we're incredibly proud of this achievement and salute the country's achievements by inviting our customers to visit South Africa this summer with these special fares."
South Africa's first democratically-held elections took place on
April 27, 1994, when Nelson Mandela was voted as president of the newly
democratic republic. For the past 22 years, South Africans celebrate Freedom
Day on April 27th, as a day to commemorate the sacrifices that were
made to achieve equality, to strengthen democratic ideals and to reflect on the
country's successes in fostering a free and equal South Africa.
