Honouring memory of a forgotten struggle hero

Tomrrow is Human Rights Day. On March 21 we remember the Sharpeville massacre of 1960, when police fired on an anti-pass march south of Joburg organised by Robert Sobukwe, the founder and leader of the PAC, killing 69 people and wounding 180. Days later, the National Party government banned the ANC and PAC, and the resistance movement went underground.
