Government notes with concern misleading reports suggesting that the National Freedom Day celebrations were disrupted after an individual briefly made his way onto the stage towards President Cyril Ramaphosa and the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie. Government wishes to clarify that these reports are incorrect and may overstate the nature of the incident.
