The Soweto uprising was a series of demonstrations and protests led by the black youth in South Africa that began on the morning of 16 June 1976 to change the country's socio-political landscape. The events were rooted in apartheid policies that resulted in the introduction of the Bantu Education Act. South Africa commemorates the Soweto uprising as youth day on the 16th of June yearly. What lessons have been learnt beyond 1976; post 1994 in South Africa and Africa as a whole, in as far as youth development is concerned. How will the continent reconstruct the effects of the plight of the youth beyond the COVID-19? Should you like to comment on this programme, do twit to: @OHchannelafrica
