Members of the Pan Africanist Congress and the Azanian People’s Organisation have observed Sharpeville and Langa Massacre Day in memory of those killed during the 1960 anti-pass law protests.
PAC Deputy Secretary Victor Serakalala explains, “You can not discuss development when you do not have the ownership of the land. You can not discuss development when your mineral resources are still owned by foreigners. You can not have a proper education system that does not respond to your natural resources because education must be responding to what the society, the nation that is living there intends to achieve and the achievements of every society is dependent on their land.
