Site History
"Five weeks after students in Soweto took to the streets in 1976 demonstrating against the imposition of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in African schools, Mhluzi township in Middelburg erupted. The demonstration was spearheaded mainly by students from Sozama Secondary School and inaugurated a period of intense protest against schools and government institutions that continued episodically from July 1976 to May 1978." (Heffernan and Nieftyagodien, 2016)
