Freedom Jubilation
It came at last
After keeping hope a glow
Three centuries of white domination
Freedom jubilation
A historic victory for South Africa
Like an army let loose
They flocked to the polls
defied bomb blasts and portraits intermingling
The sick roused-hopped to hospital polls
Enthusiastically determined
to bring a halt to apartheid
Crippled by the scourge of war
Disease and illiteracy
Incredibly they have broken that cocoon
Flags heralding the birth of democracy
And a new anthem lingering in the chilly air
The flag of democratic freedom flew up for South Africa in 1994, and the heroes of freedom struggle in the person of Nelson Mandela, were rewarded. The history of oppression, subjugation and dehumanization of the African people ends with the spirit of forgiveness; and the enactment of a utilitarian democracy in South Africa. But the challenges of freedom, my brother, behold our Kenyan Nation!
