Tour de Medio Día "Soweto"

Información

We take guests to The June 16 Memorial. It is at no. 25 Mphuthi street, corner of Pula Street, Central Western Jabavu, Soweto. It is directly opposite Morris Isaacson High School (Tsietsi Mashinini ‘s alma mater).

The Memorial focuses on routes used by protesting students, now widely known as the June 16 1976 Students March Trail. It is a principal stop along the June 16 trail offering an overview of the 1976 struggle route together with links to other sites of significance on the trail. The June 16 Memorial Acre compliments and builds on the narrative at the Hector Pieterson Memorial. It is an artistic expression of the story of June 16, 1976 student uprisings. It is also a host to the statue of Tsietsi Mashinini, one of the leaders of the June 16, 1976 student uprising.

There is photographs, art installations and items such as steel dustbin lid that students used as a shield against police bullets as well as a time wall of events as told by the Cillie Commission of enquiry which served primarily to justify police actions.
