In celebration of April 2014, Freedom Month , Coca-Cola literally created rainbows to mark the 20th anniversary of South Africa s democracy and the birth of the Rainbow Nation , a phrase coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu during the country s first democratic election in April 1994.

The rainbows were conjured up in the Johannesburg CBD by using sunlight, water, some fancy science and a little bit of magic by advertising and marketing communication agency FCB Johannesburg and a technical team led by a globe-trotting rainbow-maker from the United States .

Says Sharon Keith of Coca-Cola South Africa, We are very excited to have discovered a way to create actual rainbows by capturing the sun at specific angles through a mist of recycled water.

In the lead up to Freedom Day, we wanted to go further than reminding South Africans of our heritage, she continues. We wanted to create a symbol of our diversity and celebrate the fact that as a nation we have come so far. Coca-Cola aims to inspire moments of optimism and happiness, and rainbows can do both.

On the eve of South Africa s 20 years of democracy, Coca-Cola created moments of happiness, which were captured on film.
