Cape Town - An honest and sombre conversation at where South Africa stands, 27 years after the dawn of democracy was held virtually.
Facilitated by Iziko Museums of South Africa (Iziko), the virtual public dialogue with Lebohang Liepollo Pheko, Dr Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh and Nkosikhulule Xhawulengweni Nyembezi was held yesterday.
Iziko operates 11 national museums, the Planetarium and Digital Dome, the Social History Centre and three collection-specific libraries in Cape Town.
Participants provided a painstaking analysis on the meaning of Freedom Day in the time of Covid-19 and democratic South Africa.
