The Minister of Arts and Culture, Mr Paul Mashatile invites members of the media to the launch of the framework towards 20th Anniversary Celebrations of our Freedom and Democracy. The event will take place on Monday, 3 June 2013 in Freedom Park, Pretoria.
The Framework incorporates and builds on the declarations and plans emanating from the Social Cohesion Summit. This launch marks the commencement of a year-long process of mobilising of all sectors of society to participate in campaigns that reflect our democratic achievements.
The framework aims to deepen our understanding of where we come from as a nation and how our democracy was achieved. Amongst others, this will identify and celebrate our untold stories and unsung heroes and heroines of liberation struggle in every community and every workplace; and to also inspire confidence and build a positive image of SA as a proud and caring nation.
Social cohesion Ambassadors from various sectors of society will be expected to sign a declaration of commitment pledging their support for the mobilisation of society in the build - up towards the 20th Anniversary of Democracy and Freedom.
The event will take place as follows:
