South Africa marks 50 years since Soweto uprising, but challenges linger for its youth
South Africa commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 1976 Soweto uprising, where over 200 students protesting against apartheid education policies were killed by police. The event, now marked as Youth Day, is seen as a pivotal moment in the anti-apartheid struggle, but ongoing issues like inequality, unemployment, and poverty continue to challenge South Africa's youth.
