It is befitting that we meet during Human Rights Month to honour amongst others the late iNkosi Albert Luthuli, a man who is an embodiment of human rights. During the month of March, we commemorate and honor those who were slain and persecuted during the Sharpeville massacre of 1960, kwaLanga in Cape Town, as well as in Tinarha in the Eastern Cape. These atrocities stood as potent symbols of the brutal realities of apartheid South Africa.
