Today 25 years ago, voting was taking place around the country in South Africa’s first democratic election. The 27 of April 1994, was in fact the second of 4 days of voting. Special voting had started the day before, the 26^th of April. That day also saw the new South African flag raised for the first time. The moment wasn’t lost on one of 702’s popular callers from Sunnyside in Pretoria, a man named Frikkie. He called into the Jenny Crwys-Williams’ Show.
