Human rights day to be celebrated accross the country
The Human Rights Day was well celebrated in kliptown Walter Sisulu Square, although there were certain people of Sharpevill who were protesting for the event to be held in their area in Sharpevill. Claiming that the human rights day is not for the whole country but for the people of sharpvill where 69 people lost their lives after the police shooting in 1960 during the apartheid era. This is completely wrong, this special day is for the whole country for every South African.
They were burnning tyres to demostrate their emotions about the event. President Jacob Zuma said, that they had never made any promise to the sharpvill residents that the human rights day will only be held in sharpvill for ever. This happen after when the celebration event was decided to take place in Kliptown walter Sisulu Square rather than taking place in Sharpevill. The residents of Sharpevill protested against the change of the event.Because this is the special day for every South African, so it will be celebrated in different places across the country. people need to understand the importance of the human rights day.It should be held in different places accross the country in order to make the public well aware of what is the purpose of the that day.
Human rights Day has to be celebrated every where with reason, we living in the current era where youth does not know why we have to celebrate Human Right Day and 16 june but why? looking on the issue of choosing venue it is a wrong thing done by Sharpevill residents.
ReplyDeletestrongly agree with you Trot, furthermore the country as a whole should recognise the importance of that day regardless of wherever is celebrated because is a national human rights day not Sharpevill day.
