"True freedom is understanding that we have a choice in who and what we allow to have power over us"-Meryl Streep Using the quote above as a point of departure discuss the extent to which we have attained true freedom in south africa

Answer 1

South Africa has significantly fought for freedom for a long time, today a lot has been achieved, and the government is working hard to ensure that freedom is a priority. Various legislations and constitutional amendments have been passed to ensure that freedom is attained. Constitution provides a bill of rights in chapter ii; it protects individuals civil, social and political rights. The section also indicates that every citizen has the right to freedom of conscience, belief and opinion. From the past elections and political activities, people enjoy the freedom of speech, political views and choice of leaders. Despite the achievements, attainment of freedom is still incomplete because the implementation of the constitutional requirements for freedom lacks to a certain extent; there are many reported cases of violation of freedoms over political issues and suppression of citizens.
