The ‘Soweto Uprising’ was precipitated by the conditions created by the 1953 Bantu Education Act. Dr Verwoerd, who engineered the Act, announced that “Natives (blacks) must be taught from an early age that equality with Europeans (whites) is not for them”. Against the backdrop of severely under-resourced schooling facilities and growing tensions, it was announced in 1975 that Afrikaans should be put on an equal basis with English as a medium of instruction in all schools. On June 16th 1976, 20 000 learners took to the streets to march peacefully but were met with violent retaliations by the apartheid police. The uprising then escalated into a nation-wide revolt, revitalising the struggle for liberation in South Africa.

“You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future” – Thomas Sankara

On 25 May 1963, the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) was formed in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The OAU was committed to helping bring about change and freedom to many African countries and to restore the dignity of African people. This day marked the beginning of a quest for the unity of the continent and for the political and economic emancipation of its people as well as co-operation among them.
