This comes as South Africa (SA) marks 70 years since the adoption of the historic document.

President Cyril Ramaphosa will address the 70th anniversary of the adoption of the Charter in Kliptown, Gauteng Province, on Thursday.

The South African Broadcasting Corporation spoke to the ANC about the achievement of the objectives of the Charter.

The Pan Africanist Congress are the outspoken detractors of the Freedom Charter. 

Known for its steadfast campaign for the return of land to the black majority, the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania has denounced as lies, the fourth clause of the historic Freedom Charter, which says "The Land Shall Be Shared Among Those Who Work It", arguing that it dilutes the principle of African ownership. 

Although SA citizens from all walks of life participated in the adoption of the Charter, it remains an ANC document.
Former ANC Secretary-General and now its National Chairperson, Gwede Mantashe, says they have managed to live up to the ideals of this historic document."

He insists that only two of its ten clauses remain a work in progress.
