The campaign serves as a reminder that freedom is both a legacy to honour and a responsibility to advance.

WATCH | As South Africa grapples with migration challenges, Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olivier Nduhungirehe, argues that discussions should centre on the underlying causes of migration rather than assigning blame to a single country.
"When fear and anger rise, it is so often the voice of the pulpit, the mosque, the temple and the synagogue that can call our people back to compassion.Together, we must work to ensure that frustration is never turned into hatred, and that the stranger among us is met with the dignity that all our faith traditions demand."

We know that migration is a global issue. It affects all countries.
Our country – like many others throughout history – is a product of migration.
It is the reason for our diversity and contributes to our vibrancy.

South Africa faces persistently high levels of unemployment, especially among young people.
Too many families are struggling to make ends meet.
Too many communities are experiencing poverty and inadequate access to opportunities.
In such circumstances, frustration can easily be directed at those perceived to be competitors for jobs and resources.

I want to explain what government is doing to address them.
And I want to outline the principles that must guide us as we confront this challenge together.
