This year marks the 45th anniversary of the June 16 uprising, when in 1976 the youth of this country stood up against the system of Bantu education and confronted the oppressive, racist, apartheid regime.
Designed by one of the founding fathers and architects of apartheid, Hendrik Verwoerd, this education system was aimed at limiting access to education and economic opportunities for black people in general, particularly Africans. This education system, in Verwoerd’s words, was meant to reduce us to second-class subservient citizens whose role was to be “hewers of wood and drawers of water”.
The brave youth of this country would have none of that.

Durban - Four decades after commandos from the then SA Defence Force illegally entered Mozambique and killed 15 members of Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), the raid that shocked the southern Africa region was commemorated over the weekend.
So far no one has been held accountable for the brutal raid.
The raid happened on January 30, 1981 and the apartheid army had falsely believed that among those killed on that day was Joe Slovo, the former national chairperson of the SACP.
On Saturday, the ANC issued a statement to remember the painful raid but said nothing about the fact that no one has been prosecuted for the crime.
