Taalmonument reik uit na Soweto
Hector Pieterson se suster praat tydens dialoog oor die pad van 1976 tot 2026

Ter herdenking van die tragiese gebeure van 16 Junie 1976 in Soweto, bied die Afrikaanse Taalmuseum en -monument (ATM) ’n spesiale GRATIS JEUGPROGRAM op 26 JUNIE en INTERAKTIEWE PANEELGESPREK op 27 JUNIE 2026 in Suid-Afrika se bekendste township aan. Die sprekers sluit onder andere Antoinette Sithole, suster van die vermoorde Hector Pieterson, Zenzile Khoisan, Prince Dube, dr Geraldine Frieslaar en Daan Potgieter in.

Vyftig jaar nadat swart leerders hulle verset het teen die mislukte poging om Afrikaans as ’n gelykwaardige onderrigtaal met Engels in swart skole af te dwing (en teen apartheid in die algemeen in opstand gekom het), wil die instelling verdere ruimtes skep vir kritiese nadenke en debat om persepsies en vooroordele uit te daag.

Afrikaans Language Monument reaches out to Soweto
Hector Pieterson’s sister to talk during dialogue about the road from 1976 to 2026

In commemoration of the tragic events of 16 June 1976 in Soweto, the Afrikaans Language Museum and Monument (ATM) is hosting a special FREE YOUTH PROGRAMME on 26 JUNE and INTERACTIVE PANEL DISCUSSION on 27 JUNE 2026 in South Africa’s most famous township. The speakers include Antoinette Sithole, sister of the slain Hector Pieterson, Zenzile Khoisan, Prince Dube, Dr Geraldine Frieslaar and Daan Potgieter.

Fifty years after black learners resisted the failed attempt to impose Afrikaans as an equal medium of instruction with English in black schools (and rebelled against apartheid in general), the institution wants to create further spaces for critical reflection and debate to challenge perceptions and prejudices.
