Howard Feldman | This is why I will be celebrating Freedom Day

There is a lot wrong with the country, and there are valid reasons for South Africans to refuse to celebrate Freedom Day. But Howard Feldman writes that there are also plenty of reasons to mark the day.

Most South Africans would be able to list the reasons why Freedom Day in South Africa is a misnomer. The glaring irony of an African National Congress government would trip off their tongues, and they would lament how load shedding, corruption and stupefying incompetence have created an environment that is anything but free. 

But they would be wrong.
