I attended the South African Youth day which remembers and celebrates the Soweto Uprising that took place on June 16th 1976. On this day students in Soweto marched against the apartheid government that sought to impose Afrikaans as a medium of instruction for all subjects.
The day began at 8am for me and my friends and family. We began our journey to the South African Embassy which is in Canberra. The car journey felt like it took ten years, but finally when we reached our destination the excitement kicked in!
The event was really casual, the High Commissioner spoke followed by some beautiful singing by Kymie be sure to check out her sound cloud page at Official Kymie. Then came one of the most empowering poems I've ever heard recited by Tahi. You can check out a snippet of this poem and a vlog of the event on my YouTube channel at Massy's World.
