In this episode of 'Resistance in Focus,' we explore the Soweto Uprising of 1976, a pivotal moment in South Africa's history. Discover how students in the Soweto township bravely protested against the apartheid government's oppressive educational policies, leading to a violent clash with police forces and sparking a nationwide movement.
Learn about the broader context of apartheid, the immediate and long-term impacts of the uprising, and the significant yet often overlooked roles women played in the resistance.
Join us as we examine the legacy of the Soweto Uprising and its enduring influence on the fight against oppression.
