Ulwazi Fieldworkers: March

As we commemorate Human Rights Month in South Africa, we look at some of the stories covered by our fieldworkers during this important time of the year.

The events of the fateful day of the 21st March 1960 are discussed by Nkosikhona Duma, with a focus on the role that music played in the fight against apartheid. In fact, words of all sorts feature prominently on Ulwazi this month, whether in the form of music, praise poetry, or the role that Zulu newspapers played in educating locals about what was going on in the country.
