The Apartheid, Soweto Riots, and Nelson Mandela A fight for justice and equality

Translation in Afrikaans: “separateness” Apartheid was the government system of legal segregation of whites and non-whites in South Africa between the years 1948-1990 What was apartheid? Translation in Afrikaans: “separateness”

A very brief history of the Apartheid

Soweto Soweto: Stands for South Western Township. It is a shantytown located just outside South Africa’s capital of Johannesburg. Soweto was established even before apartheid in order to move Black Africans out of the white areas of Johannesburg. It is a shantytown that today is home to over 1.3 million people. (South African History Online)

The Soweto Uprising in 1976 was in response to apartheid policies in education that forced black South Africans to learn subjects taught in the language of “Afrikaans.” Since Afrikaans was the language of their white, apartheid government, it was seen as the “language of the oppressor”. Soweto Uprising 1976

June 16th, 1976 Soweto Uprising Over 10,000 students of Soweto marched to Orlando soccer stadium in a peaceful protest. After failing to push the crowd back, police officers opened fire on the protesters, killing two students Hastings Ndlovu and Hector Pieterson. (Overcoming Apartheid, Michigan State University) June 16th, 1976 Soweto Uprising

The image of Hector Pieterson’s lifeless body being carried out of the protest has become an iconic photo representing the struggle of Black South Africans during apartheid. Hector was 12 years old.
