Survivors and dependents of the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre—one of the defining events of the anti-apartheid struggle—have applied for court permission to launch a class action against the South African government. The legal initiative targets the state's continued failure to repeal a 65-year-old law that blocks victims and their families from seeking financial damages. Colleen Makhubele spoke to Nabeelah Mia National Director of Lawyers for Human Rights (LHR) in South Africa, Dr. Marjorie Jobson - National Director Khulumani Support Group and Tsietsi Molebatsi -  Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC).
