Twenty-five years of democracy and freedom presents South Africa’s youth with an opportunity to celebrate the role played by young people during the struggle for liberation.

The struggle and sacrifices of the class of 1976 were not in vain, as South Africans defeated the apartheid government, says President Jacob Zuma.

South Africa's renowned photo journalist, Peter Magubane, has launched a book on the 40th anniversary of the 16 June 1976 Soweto uprising.
