High school student-led protests in South Africa began on the morning of 16 June 1976 in response to the introduction of Afrikaans as the medium of instruction in local schools. Known as the Soweto uprising, an estimated 20,000 students took part in the protests. The police fired teargas and live ammunition on demonstrating students. The official count is that 176 protesters were killed, but actual estimates are much higher.

If you're near the Cape Town Waterfront on the 9th Nov, there's a launch for Etienne van Heerden's novel A Library to Flee (Die biblioteek aan die einde van die wêreld), which I had the privilege of translating from Afrikaans. It would be grand to see you there. #translation #southafrica #Capetown #books #africanliterature #Afrikaans #libraries
