Freedom Day 2026 | Looking back at the lessons and legacy of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu

Democracy inspired many South Africans to continue striving for a non-racial and equal access to education and human dignity.

This was further cemented by the late Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu when he coined the "Rainbow Nation" concept that not only embraced our diverse heritage, but also promoted reconciliation and unity.

As we commemorate Freedom Day, we look back at the lessons and the legacy of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu and what freedom means to South Africans.

We are now joined by Janet Jobson, Chief Executive Officer, Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation.
