EP23: 27th April - Freedom Day

--:--
Tuesday 27th April is Freedom Day, the anniversary of South Africa’s first non-racial election of 1994. We feature power couple - Barney and Melany Andrews. Melany speaks of living a life of impact with the goal of creating a life of freedom – free from hate, violence, bullying, poverty, inequality and social ills. Barney, “If all of us do our little bits we can eat this elephant and fix South Africa together no matter our backgrounds; Race, Politics, Religion, Gender, Sexual Oriental or Level of Education, all of us have a role to play and a contribution to make - our country has the resources and the people to deliver on its true potential "....for ALL who live in it". Harambee - Let's pull together.
