Museum commemorating the Soweto students' revolt against the obligation to learn Afrikaans.
This museum commemorates the revolt of the students of Soweto against the obligation to learn Afrikaans, a peaceful demonstration that ended in bloodshed and marked the signal for a series of revolts in the townships. On 16 June 1976, 566 young demonstrators were shot dead by the police. The first victim was 12-year-old Hector Pieterson. The picture of this dead child and his desperate sister remains a well-known cliché of that bloody day and is erected as a symbol. How the people of Soweto lived under apartheid and how the struggle began in the township.

Ce musée nous révèle tous les éléments qui ont précédés la grande révolution de Soweto et donc le début de la fin de l'apartheid!

Musee fantastique relatant la lutte anti apartheid. Parfois - Antoinette- jeune femme ayant participer à ces événements débat à l'entrée du musee pour relater son vécu.
