President Cyril Ramaphosa will give a keynote address at the Human Rights Day commemoration at George Thabe Cricket Pitch, Sharpeville.
This year’s theme is “The Year of Indigenous Languages: Promoting and Deepening a Human Rights Culture”.
In March 1960, the Sharpeville community embarked on a march to protest against pass laws.
Apartheid police shot and killed 69 protesters and the tragedy came to be known as the Sharpeville Massacre.
