Jeugdag word op 16 Junie gevier in Suid Afrika, om berou op te toon oor die land se burgers vir die gewelddadige Soweto Onluste en hulle te herinner hoe belangrik die jeug is, want hulle is die toekoms.

Omdat Jeugdag ʼn openbare vakansiedag is, is dit gewoonlik ʼn dag af van werk vir meeste werkers.

In sommige jare word Jeugdag 'n hele maand gevier, met aktiwiteite beplan deur die Departement van Kuns en Kultuur.

Op 16 Junie 1976 het hoërskool studente ʼn protes gelei teen die Bantoe Onderwys Wet, wat goedkeuring gegee het aan die apartheidsbeleid wat leierskap aan die blankes toegestaan het.

Op hierdie dag het die polisie, in ʼn brutale slagting, honderde studente vermoor wat aanstoot geneem het teen die wet.

In die weke na die oproer is nog baie meer jongmense vermoor omdat die amptenare onversetlik gebly het.

Die Bantoe Onderwys Wet het gesê dat Afrikaans op dieselfde voet as Engels geleer moes word in swart skole in Suid Afrika, wat die fokus verskuif het na taal, eerder as kritiese denke.

Terwyl hierdie fokus op taal probleme veroorsaak het omdat dit vrye denke moeiliker gemaak het, was dit nie noodwendig die fokus van die twis tussen wetgewers en studente nie.

Die protes was meestal oor die verdelende aard van die wet, wat afsonderlike skole vir swart en wit studente geskep het.

Die skole vir swart studente was gekenmerk deur swak toestande en algemene ongelykheid.

Selfs universiteite sou geskei wees per stam.

Op die dag wat Jeugdag nou gevier word het tussen 3 000 en 10 000 studente betoog van hul skole in die rigting van Orlando Stadium.

Die studente wou vreedsaam betoog, maar die polisie het die pad wat hulle op was versper.

Hulle het afgedraai om ʼn ander roete te neem omdat die leier van die protes die deelnemers aangemoedig het om die polisie nie uit te lok nie.

Ongeveer 1 500 polisiebeamptes, gewapen met outomatiese wapens, het op die toneel van die protes ontplooi, sommige sê dat hulle arbitrêr losgebrand het op die studente, terwyl ander sê dat die protes gewelddadig geword het en dat die studente klippe begin gooi het.

Maak nie saak hoe nie, hulle het ʼn dodelike hardnekkige houding gehad deur hulle nie toe te laat om deur te gaan nie, selfs al was hulle vreedsaam.

Youth Day is observed on June 16 in South Africa to evoke compunction for violent Soweto Riots in the nation's citizens and remind them how important their youth are because they are the future.

Because Youth Day is a public holiday, it's generally a day off from work for most workers.

In some years, observance of Youth Day lasts a whole month, with activities planned by the Department of Arts and Culture.

On June 16, 1976, high school students led a protest against the Bantu Education Act, which gave approbation to key apartheid policies which granted hegemony to whites.

On that day, police killed hundreds in a brutal massacre of students who took umbrage to the law.

In the weeks following the riot, many more youth were killed as officials remained intransigent.

The Bantu Education Act said that Afrikaans should be taught on equal footing with English in black schools in South Africa, which shifted the focus toward language rather than critical thinking.

While this focus on language created problems because it made free thinking more difficult, it wasn't necessarily the focus of the contention between lawmakers and students.

The protest was mostly about the divisive nature of the law, which created separate schools for black and white students.

The schools for black students were characterized by poor cond [...]
