Following our historic first democratic elections in 1994, South Africa, a nation that was once synonymous with rights violations, became the bastion of human rights.
Since then, we’ve celebrated Human Rights Day on March 21, along with Human Rights Month, to remind South Africans about the sacrifices that accompanied the struggle for liberation.
South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future. News24 has kept the country informed for 25 years, and we're about to enter a new chapter of fearless journalism.
