@BacktothecitySA Reveals Theme For 2019

By @Nokulunga_Maqubela on 01/31/2019 in News

As we continue to define what freedom means to us, Africa's biggest annual festival dedicated to celebrating the culture of hip hop continues to expand on their concept of freedom, following from last years' theme "Freedom of Self," Back To The City has revealed its theme for 2019, "The Freedom Charter," and it goes:

We, the People of South Africa, declare for all our country and the world to know: that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white, and that no government can justly claim authority unless it is based on the will of all the people; that our people have been robbed of their birthright to land, liberty and peace by a form of government founded on injustice and inequality; that our country will never be prosperous or free until all our people live in brotherhood, enjoying equal rights and opportunities; that only a democratic state, based on the will of all the people, can secure to all their birthright without distinction of colour, race, sex or belief; And therefore, we, the people of South Africa, black and white together - equals, countrymen and brothers - adopt this Freedom Charter. And we pledge ourselves to strive together, sparing neither strength nor courage, until the democratic changes here set out have been won.

See you on Freedom Day!
