To hell with Colonial Statues. Black People’s Crisis Committee says remove them, or we will

Guest : Chulumanco Nkasela | member at Black People’s National Crisis Committee|

Lobby group the Black People’s National Crisis Committee used Youth Day to demand
colonial statues be removed, starting with the Louis Botha statue at the main entrance
of Parliament, where they staged a picket yesterday.
As the country commemorated the June 16, 1976 youth uprisings, which saw pupils
taking to the streets to oppose the enforcement of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction
by the apartheid regime, the crisis committee, comprising mostly young people, said the
removal of colonial monuments was long overdue.
