Forty years ago today, thousands of black learners revolted against the apartheid system of Bantu Education and Afrikaans as the medium of instruction. All hell broke loose when the police unleashed their dogs, tear-gas and bullets on students armed with stones, knives and fire. A week later, the official cost was over a thousand injuries, 900 arrests and 140 corpses - the first being that of teenager Hector Peterson in Soweto. He became the innocent symbol in the turning point for democracy. Twenty years later, in 1996, the former Truth and Reconciliation Commission heard testimony in Soweto about the student uprising. Angie Kapelianis was there and compiled this sound-scape with Danny Booysen.

Yesterday's Constitutional Court judgement has been widely welcomed - by the Independent Electoral Commission, goverment and political parties. The court has ruled that the IEC's failure to record all available voter addresses on the voter's roll is inconsistent with the rule of law obligations and is invalid. It has however suspended the invalidity order giving the IEC until June 2018 to furnish addresses for the voter's roll except in the case of Tlokwe where discrepencies must be corrected in time for the next by-elections. This allows the August 2016 local government elections to proceed. Senior Political reporter Busi Chimombe reports on reaction to the judgement..

To give a perspective on this, we are joined on the line by Grant Masterson- he is the Programme Manager at the Electoral Institute for the Sustainability of Democracy in Africa (EISA).
