The Congress of South African Trade Unions has encouraged people to support Freedom Day celebrations today.
However, Cosatu says while there is much to be celebrated, the 22-million South Africans living in poverty cannot be ignored.
The trade union federation says the close to 40-percent of the working population who are unemployed and the millions still living in shacks cannot fully celebrate their political freedom as they wait for the chance to earn a decent living and live in a proper home.
