Many Gauteng residents grapple with the realities of not having decent houses, some bear the brunt of poor living conditions within informal settlements that have mushroomed over the years. The ‘Father of Soweto’, James Sofasonke Mpanza is a social activist and a champion for black South Africans to have homes. He founded the Sofasonke Party with the slogan “Housing and Shelter for All” in 1935. It was this time (April) 1944 that James persuaded over 8 000 people to make a new squatter camp called Sofasonke Township. James had led the land invasion that resulted in the founding of modern Soweto, the Soweto we know today.

To commemorate World Children's Day last year, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) published a Situation Analysis report detailing the wellbeing of children and adolescents in South Africa across various social sectors including, health, nutrition, education, water and sanitation and social protection. Alongside, we spoke to Bikos Manna who are a musical trio comprised of Biko Star (18), Manna Hero (15) and Tau Lion (10). This sibling band has taken the world by storm! A multi-talented group of musicians, collectively they play the guitar, 15 marimba, bass, drums, piano and more and love to dance. Their careers began over ten years ago busking in the markets of South Africa where they quickly developed a following resulting in television appearances, commercials, and live appearances.

Today is Human Rights Day, and we commemorate a pivotal moment in history that highlights the struggles and sacrifices of those who fought for justice. On 21 March 1960, South African police opened fire on a peaceful crowd of 4,000 people in Sharpeville, protesting against the apartheid regime's discriminatory pass laws. This tragic event, known as the Sharpeville Massacre, has been misrepresented for over six decades. The research conducted by Nancy L. Clark, Dean and Professor Emeritus at Louisiana State University, and William H. Worger, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of California, Los Angeles, seeks to retell this story from the perspective of the victims, offering a clearer and more accurate understanding of the massacre.
