The Unfulfilled Promise of Justice in Sharpeville Sixty six years have passed since the Sharpeville Massacre, an event that will forever be etched in the memories of those who survived and the families of the victims.
On March 21, 1960, at least 69 people were killed and many more injured in a brutal display of state violence that was a defining moment in South Africa's struggle against apartheid.
The massacre had a profound impact on the social and economic fabric of the community. Families like Paulina Mathinye's struggled to make ends meet in a system designed to keep them marginalized.
