President Jacob Zuma says the national honours bestowed on 15 living and 14 posthumous recipients at the Union Buildings in Pretoria today are a reminder of the road the country has travelled.
Zuma says before 1994, South Africans had no common identity.
He said building a nation united in its diversity has not been an easy task, but the President says a good start has been made over the past 15 years.
Slain anti-apartheid activist Dulcie September, late musician Miriam Makeba and disabled swimmer Natalie du Toit were among those who were honoured today.
