One family, three generations: What freedom means to me

Families have different views of freedom. City Press spoke to three generations of the same family to find how each experiences grew up in KwaZulu-Natal but travelled to Johannesburg to work as a news intern at Yfm after studying journalism at Durban University of Technology.

“I could walk freely on the streets without showing anyone a pass. I could go to any beach I wanted. My gran would always tell me that we would have to be loyal to the party that gave us liberation.”If one day she has a daughter, she would want gender equality and the freedom to travel without the fear of rape or harassment.

“Now that she’s working, I don’t want Nkosazana to feel a need to financially support me. I just want her to focus on developing herself and save money. I want my future grandchildren to live a better quality of life than she had.”, Nonhlanhla’s mother, so keenly feels her freedom that she cannot bring herself to vote for any other party but the ANC on May 8.

She also praises the government for introducing mobile clinics which have been especially helpful for TB patients requiring daily treatment.
