In honour of the African Child

It is significant that though apartheid had been an utterly unacceptable heresy for more than four centuries, it took young people - in one cataclysmic wave - to stand firm against it and set in motion a selfless campaign that would deliver the masses of South Africans from the evil of organised racial prejudice 18 years later.

It is also notable that the scene for this rebellion was what passed for a school in a 'township' functioning as a source of cheap labour for the benefit of South Africa's minority white population and its supporters in the West, especially Britain, the United States and Israel.
