The Flame of Democracy at Constitution Hill in Johannesburg commemorates the 15th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the Republic. While being located outside the Constitutional Court which was formerly a colonial prison, it is to show that the nation will not return to totalitarianism and institutionalized oppression.

Photo of the day: The corner of Overport Drive and Peter Mokaba Ridge in Durban. The latter was known as North Ridge Road prior to the street renaming program during Michael Sutcliffe’s tenure as Durban City Manager. Mokaba, a deputy minister during Nelson Mandela’s presidency, is infamous for pioneering the slogan “Kill the farmer, kill the Boer”; this, among other reasons, has created controversey around the street renaming program (Renny Simone).
