Durban - Thousands of South Africans are expected to pack the Absa Stadium on Monday where President Kgalema Motlanthe is expected to address the nation on Freedom Day.
This in celebration of the country's resilience and maturing democracy.
On Monday, South Africa will mark the 15th anniversary since it took to the polls in the country's first democratic elections.
For the past 15 years, South Africa has celebrated the achievement of freedom and democracy on 27 April.
