People in South Africa have marked the 20th anniversary of the country's first ever multi-racial election.
A ceremony was held in front of the government building in the capital Pretoria on Sunday where Nelson Mandela gave his inaugural speech in 1994 after being elected the first black president.
Mandela died in December at the age of 95.
He had led the fight against apartheid and helped bring the African National Congress to power.
During the ceremony, current South African President Jacob Zuma said it was the day that freedom and democracy were brought to South Africa.
People carrying South African flags sang and danced in celebration.
One of the participants said that black people could not take part in an event like that during apartheid.
He said although there have been major changes in the past 20 years, problems remain including high unemployment and economic disparity. But he said the country must keep moving forward.
The ruling ANC has also come under criticism for wide-spread corruption which could effect the outcome of next month's National and Provincial elections.
