    Honoring the occasion of 29th South African Freedom Day, the High Commissioner of South Africa to India, Mr. J.S. Ndebele hosted a soiree in New Delhi last evening. In observance of the first-ever democratically held elections in South Africa, the celebration witnessed the presence of Chief Guest, Smt. Meenakshi Lekhi, Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture of India where she shared her compliments to the High Commission on a well-organised evening of strengthening diplomatic ties between the two nations.

    Under the theme of “Consolidating and Safeguarding Democratic Gains”, the event encouraged the gathering between key stakeholders from across nations to participate in conversations surrounding the values of democracy and its merits for society. The event was attended by 500 guests, including members of the Government of India, diplomats from several nations, economic partners, and friends of South Africa. The occasion coincides with the 27th anniversary of the enactment of the Constitution as the supreme law in South Africa.

    In addition, to make the evening memorable, the South African High Commissioner in partnership with South African Tourism organised performances by the Springdales School Choir. Guests were also introduced to the delectable dishes from South African Cuisines, prepared by former MasterChef Siphokazi Mdlankomo.

    Addressing the dignitaries, Joel Sibusiso Ndebele, High Commissioner of South Africa to India said “I would like to extend my gratitude and deepest appreciation to all the dignitaries for joining us in celebrating this significant occasion. This year marks the 29th anniversary of South Africa’s first democratic elections as we observe National Freedom Day. Our democracy has played a crucial role in restoring the dignity of millions of South Africans and changing our lives for the better.”

    This year we also commemorate the 27th anniversary of the enactment of the Constitution as the supreme law in our country as well as honour our military and defence personnel by celebrating National Armed Forces Day. Our celebrations offer South Africans the opportunity to reflect on the progress made in transforming South African society while acknowledging the great possibilities and enormous work still to be done for a bright future.” he further added.

    Ms. Neliswa Nkani, Hub Head – Middle East, India, and SouthEast Asia, South African Tourism said, “I am extremely humbled to be part of this momentous occasion today as we honour not one but two important milestones in the history of South Africa. This year, we celebrate the 29th Freedom Day for South Africa and mark 30 years of bilateral relations with India. Over these years we have been extremely fortunate to share strong partnerships with India and other nations across the globe.”

    “Our partnership with India has been extremely special as the bond between the two nations dates back over a century. India has been a steadfast ally to us, and we are proud of the many achievements that we have accomplished together. It will always be our endeavour to make such similar connections with every country and achieve greater heights.” she continued.

    South Africa and India’s relationship is anchored by a deep and shared history of friendship and solidarity. This year also marks the completion of 30 years of bilateral relations between both nations. While the formal diplomatic ties between India and South Africa were established in 1993, the bond between the two countries dates back over a century, from being partners in each other’s freedom struggles to a partnership that has embraced its strengths. The nations have been the closest allies to each other and have established meaningful collaborations over the years to drive economic growth.
