JOHANNESBURG - In 1955 a group of people gathered on a dusty field in Kliptown Soweto to Dream about a better future for South Africa.

They wrote the Freedom Charter which has become the basis for South Africa’s constitutional democracy.

South Africa belongs to all who live in it black and white – they declared.
