Celebrating 30 Years of Democracy – 2024 Highlights

In this webinar we hear about the plans for the 30th Anniversary celebrations of South Africa’s first democratic elections, which brought in President Mandela as the first democratically elected President.

The South African Government and its many global Missions are combining with local businesses, South African businesses and communities to celebrate. Examples to date include the Nasdaq Tower in Washington and Times Square in New York being lit up with South African images in April this year.

In London and the UK, the plans for the 30th year celebrations cover the arts, culture and business. The SA Chamber of Commerce UK, working with the High Commission and His Excellency “Kingsley” Mamabolo, will be rolling out a series of business related events.

The purpose of this webinar is to understand our journey as people and a country, running up to 1994, that moment of change, and the journey of change that has followed over the past 30 years.

Our panel will showcase the planned events that will be happening. Lord Hain will talk about his involvement in bringing apartheid to an end.

Trisha Sibbons will share the role of ACTSA (now Action for Southern Africa) the successor body to the anti-apartheid movement in the UK, and their role in bringing change.

High Commissioner Kingsley Mamabolo will give the perspective from the ANC and government standpoint.

Sharon Constançon, Chairman of the SA Chamber UK will facilitate the discussion and describe the lead role the SA Chamber UK is taking in this year’s project “SA in the City”.

Join this webinar to find out how you can get involved in this exciting celebratory year, which cities are getting involved, what is interesting to you, and how you can enjoy, network and do more business, whilst we remember how much has changed.
