Google Doodle Celebrates - South Africa Freedom Day 2023 | 27-April
Today's Doodle commemorates South Africa's Freedom Day. On this date in 1994, the first democratic elections were conducted.
The elections ushered in a new democratic government and marked the first time that a large number of South Africans could vote. As depicted in today's Doodle, people decorate their residences and buildings with their national flag today. In April of 1994, the six-colored flag was raised for the first time.
South Africans spend the day visiting historical sites and honouring those who fought for their independence. Constitution Hill in Johannesburg and Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was a political prisoner, are popular destinations. Families may also participate in local parades and barbeque (braais).
