Democratic South Africa was built on the foundation of having our own individual freedoms as citizens when a new government was installed in 1994. Since then, our country has made strides in the expansion of this independence and individuality. This including the right for us to enjoy freedom of speech and to also have opinions as people. In this segment, we reflect on the opinion piece by founder of Decode Communications, Lorato Tshekeng. In his piece, Tshekeng argues that political opinion is free for everyone, and that encompasses sportsmen and artists, who normally get cut down by people for having a view on what is happening in the country, forgetting that it is also their vocation to reflect the times.
