Freedom and democracy go hand in hand, let us protect what was so hard to earn and be active participants in shaping its future and defending it against all threats.

Pedestrians have the right to safely navigate our streets. Let's be courteous and considerate drivers, yielding to pedestrians at crosswalks and avoiding speeding or reckless driving.

Freedom comes with a responsibility to our communities. We all have a role to play in creating a better society, so let's respect our communities and the property of others.

Street lights are vital for our safety and security so let's protect our public infrastructure and choose to be responsible citizens.

Hi @Lesufi @AluChokoe @Vuyo_Mhaga - the library, nestling so close to all the @GautengProvince offices and with such a history has been closed for almost 4years! Are you able to open it in 7 days as civil society demands? Prof Achille Mbembe spoke
"Let us raise our voices, not just in protest, but in hope and determination. Let us ensure that every child in Johannesburg has a place to explore their potential, a place to dream big, and a place to learn without limits." AKF's Rethabile Ratsomo. #OpenJHBCityLibrary
Prof Achille Mbembe, the world’s leading scholar on the post-colony, at the protest to re-open the Johannesburg Library. He says South Africa’s constitutional commitment to dignity is challenged by the closure of the public library for almost four years!
So this is the street behind the City Library now closed by the ANC-EFF government in @CityofJoburgZA for 4years! 4 years! The @MYANC can make lovely 30 year videos but this is the symbol of its governance for me. A broken beautiful city and a shuttered library.
