The Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) has begun rolling out the Milestones of Freedom campaign to provinces following its national launch by President Cyril Ramaphosa on 18 June 2026, which highlighted key milestones South Africa is commemorating this year. The campaign seeks to promote social cohesion, inspire national pride, and encourage reflection on South Africa’s democratic journey. In addition, GCIS will issue media advisories with full details on each provincial launch. Government encourages communities to participate in Milestones of Freedom activities as an opportunity to deepen their understanding of South Africa’s shared history and strengthen their appreciation of the country’s journey to democracy. More information on future Milestones of Freedom events is available on the government website: www.gov.zaEnquiries:Nomonde MnukwaActing Government SpokespersonCell: 083 653 7485William BaloyiDeputy Government SpokespersonCell: 083 390 7147#GovZAUpdates
