The commemoration of Youth Day will forever bear witness to the Soweto Uprising of 16 June 1976, when thousands of black students took to the streets to protest against the oppressive policies of the apartheid government.
The South African police used tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition to quell the cries of the unarmed students. Chaos quickly rose as panic and fear gripped the streets of Soweto. Hector’s sister, Antoinette Sithole, ran alongside them in anguish. The image became an emblem of the brutal and unjust nature of the apartheid regime, showcasing the immense sacrifice and courage displayed by the young people of Soweto.
