Cartoon celebrating our Freedoms

IN THIS WONDERFULLY SIMPLE AND POSITIVE CARTOON, Gavin Thomson has managed to list dozens of the freedoms we continue to celebrate 16 years since South Africans voted for a democratic future in 1994.

The sentiments were all extracted from the 1955 Freedom Charter, and the list ends with the charter's words "So let all who love their people and their country now say as we say here: these freedoms we will fight for side by side throughout our lives until we have won our liberty".

Perhaps one lesson we have learned since those bold words were penned is that once gained, these freedoms should forever be defended, lest we have to fight for them again.
