Celebrating freedom in South Africa |
|

 30/4/2001,
7:30am BST
On the 29th April 2001, Atomic Kitten appeared
live at Trafalgar Square, London for a special
outdoor concert to mark seven years of democracy
and freedom in South Africa. The South
Africa Freedom Day Concert played host to a 20,000
crowd and was attended by the former President of
South Africa, Nelson Mandela and the British Prime
Minister, Tony Blair. The Kittens played
alongside other top music acts including: REM
(pictured left), Mel
B and The Corrs. Nelson Mandela acknowledged
the support of the UK in gaining a lasting freedom
in South Africa during the apartheid years: "In
the days of the struggle, we used to say, 'If I'm
not free, then neither are you'. The end of
apartheid was a just victory - achieved through
the strong and committed partnership that exists
between our two countries. Today
the people of the United Kingdom, especially the
youth, again take our hand in partnership, lending
their support so that we do fully realise our aim
of a better life and future for all in South
Africa. Today is a
landmark day in all our dreams for a new South
Africa." |
