8 May 1945 marked the end of the Second World War in Europe and in honour of this occasion, a commemoration and wreath-laying ceremony was held at Freedom Park on Saturday.
Freedom Park Museum CEO Jane Mufamadi said it was an honour to host participants at Freedom Park, which is a memorial to some 135 000 people who died across various conflicts that shaped South Africa. “We remember them so we can contribute to nation-building and reconciliation,” she said.
Ukraine’s Ambassador Liubov Abravitova recalled that World War II involved 80% of the world and cost as many as 85 million lives – millions of small and big tragedies. “No country can say they won the war,” she said. “It was a combined effort. Today we say we will remember. This is a day of memory and a celebration of victory.”

SOUTH Africa will not have true reconciliation as long as the majority continues to live in poverty while the minority exists in comfort.
This was what President Cyril Ramaphosa said yesterday during his Day of Reconciliation address, delivered virtually from Cape Town.
Ramaphosa said since South Africa became democratic 26 years ago, there’d been progress in overcoming divisions caused by apartheid.
“Much as we continue to actively work to overcome divisions in society, deep and persistent challenges remain,” he said.
