Youth Month | Preserving the legacy of June 16

Fifty years after the 1976 Soweto Uprising that reshaped South Africa's political landscape, concerns remain that many young people do not fully understand the events that unfolded during one of the country's defining moments.

The last day of a three-day conference commemorating the 50th anniversary of the uprising was held at the Hector Pieterson Museum and June 16 Interpretation Centre in Soweto.

Organisers say the gathering aimed to preserve the history of the uprising, while ensuring its lessons are passed on to future generations.
