Browsing: Youth Month

Fifty years after the Soweto Uprising changed the course of South African history, thousands of visitors are expected to visit the sites where students marched, protested and lost their lives on 16 June 1976. The anniversary comes as South Africa commemorates Youth Month under the national theme, “Finishing What Was Started”, reflecting on the legacy of the youth who challenged apartheid and the challenges facing young people today. For Gauteng residents and visitors, the June 16 Trail offers a chance to walk through one of the country’s most significant historical routes while supporting local tourism and township businesses.
