It's Human Rights Day today. The day we take a look back into our not so distant past as slaves without chains in our own country.
Today we remember the brave men and women who under the leadership of Robert Sebokwe took to the streets in resistance to the pass laws of the country. We also remember their senseless killings by the apartheid police who shot at unarmed people and never got to be held accountable for it.
Robert Sebokwe was considered to be so dangerous by the apartheid government that they made a Sebokwe Clause to keep him at Robben Island for years. His words and ideas were considered so radical and powerful that they went around destroying any recording of his speeches, they had him under surveillance 24/7.
Today we remember the people and honor the man.
