Soweto: Thirty Years On.
Thirty years after the Soweto uprising of 1976, the children of Soweto are once again in the frontline of a yet another struggle – the new fight is against the deadly AIDS virus. On June 16, 1976, the students of Soweto took to the streets to protest against being taught maths in Afrikans and the oppressive apartheid regime. This was the beginning of the end of white dominancy and lead to today's democratic South Africa. Children have always been a catalyst for change in South Africa, and today the story is not so different. This story takes a look at what today's youth are doing in the new fight and adresses some of the reasons for the HIV crisis.
