The 16th of November 2024 will mark 164 years since the arrival of Indian Indentured labourers on South African soil. About 164 years ago, our ancestors were sailing through the Indian ocean on a heart-breaking and life-changing journey to dock in Durban for the promise of prosperity. That was not the case, but it did not deter our forebears to make a life for themselves and their families with the very little that they had. Today, we ponder the relevance of indenture to the young people of South Africa.
