Soweto Blues 50th Anniversary

Join Jabu Nala-Hartley for an evening of speakers, food & drink.

You are invited to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of June 16th. This day marks a powerful and defining moment in our community and in South Africa’s history.

On June 16th, the youth stood up for their right to education and confronted one of the most brutal regimes the world has ever known. Their courage reshaped our future.

Let us honour their legacy and ensure that the lessons of June 16th are never forgotten. I warmly invite you to stand with me as we reflect, remember, and celebrate this historic day.

Sat 20th June, 5pm
