DURBAN - EFF leader Julius Malema is addressing the party's June 16 rally at King Zwelithini Stadium in Umlazi.
49 years ago, Soweto youth took to the streets to protest the introduction of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction.
Their peaceful protest was met by apartheid police bullets.
The then-government said 23 were killed, but other reports place it in the hundreds.
But, despite their sacrifices, the youth are still fighting for equality and economic freedom.
