South African Apartheid | Student uprising | Tsietsi Mashinini | This week |1976 

Can we just pause a little, and acknowledge how well spoken Tsietsi Mashinini was in this interview. To think that he was still a teenager from a township school, but yet, he articulated himself so well, using vocabs that i myself only became familiar with in my late 20s.

Until we properly honour the heroes who shaped our destiny, we are a doomed nation. Selflessness is key to sustainable democracy

My Dad went to school , same class with Tsietsi and he taught me a lot about Tsietsi

It's sad how today's young people insult and kill teachers, smoke nyaope and bunk classes while people fought and died for this education

Tsietsi Mashinini was beautifully articulate and intelligent beyond his years. And to think he developed his mind in the educational wasteland provided by the Apartheid government. Imagine how much more he might have been able to acheive if he were still alive today. May this brilliant heroic soul rest in peace and his legacy never be forgotten.

These were our leaders, true leaders who fought for our freedom, because of them black students can become doctors, lawyers and all that they wish to be. Our parents/grandparents generation fought for our generation and the future of our country, so many sacrifices were made, people died others got arrested but it was all for the future of our country 🙏siyabulela, siyabonga, thank you, Realegoa

Wow, saw Dr Ndlozi in Tsietsi, even the voice

What they died for...the golden, revolutionary generation. I salute.

RIP Tsietsi, Mashinini who died under mysterious circumstances, possibly of homicide, in the summer of 1990 while in exile in Guinea.

We really take this for granted!

its a real pleasure to watch documentries from the 70's ..about people and the world

If we drop the fight now, we’ll never be able to pick it up.

Here's to the undying spirit of these brave pioneers! ✊🔥

Tsietsi was and is still my hero.

Tsietsi was an intelligent man, we were robbed of a great leader. My grandfather was the headmaster at Morrison Issacson and member of the Soweto Committee Of Ten... It's a terrible shame that pupils still have to study "Afrikaans " right through their matriculation! Why do they still not have a choice to study Sepedi and Isi Xhosa instead of compulsory english and afrikaans ! I respect and honor all the Black South African Students 'Class Of 1976' and this is the history that should be taught in all South African schools

Many people think that the uprising was in Soweto only. That's an error. The students uprising was in the whole country of South Africa!!! I should know because I was a student myself and participated in that uprising!!! Many of the leaders were incarcerated and or killed in custody while some crossed the border to other countries for safety!

"A battle is not only won by guns only"

I'm here 16 june 2020

Is it a coincidence that after this interview all of the interviewee were haunted by the regime.Tsietsi fled the Same nite n the rest arrested the following day.Could it b that the same interviewer might have spied on them n later give info to the Apartheid branch?

Much respect for all our leadership as Tsietsi Mashinini generation, and may thier struggle continue...

Today black kids smoke nyaope and day in and day out forget where they come from. Good man and woman died for us to talk and walk freely.

16 june 1976 how could we forget you!!!

Why is this still called a Uprising and not what it was Slather of innocent children

RIP Cde Tsietsi Mashinini

Guys do you notice the good English that was spoken by those students of '76 listen to the students of today is a mess!

Everyday should be a heros day in remembrance of lost brothers and sisters.

Thank you 🙏 I have seen this. And lived it, might I add.

Power to the People...from your brothers and sisters in the usa

Tsietsie Mashinini was hot 🔥, attractive, intelligent, brave and eloquent speaker. His English vocabulary, Spot on

Very Insightful and Intelligent SOUTH AFRICAN's. It is very sad to see THE CURRENT STATE OF OUR COUNTRY IN SUCH TURMOIL AND INJUSTICE. Where is the Honor of the Deceased Brave South African Leaders who risked their lives as well as those who Lost their lives for a Better rather Equal Rights to all Mzansi.

Selfless bravery. True heroes. 👍

We need to get revenge against these people, they are here living comfortably we need to make them same as they did us.

Who the hell disliked the video...? 🙆‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Well I'm told he was ahead of his time very intelligent, outsmart police..strict..befriended anyone..you will find him everywhere in Soweto..it was hard to tame him and very popular

I am watching this today. 16 June 2024, this day is always a bit sombre for me. Yes, life has improved but it did not have to improve at the expense of so many bodies, so much blood. So many kids did not have to lay down their lives but they understood what was at stake. I pray their souls are at peace.

These creatures had no problem slaughtering children, and for what? Nothing they could ever say would justify what they did. Prayers love & respect from across the pond 💖🙏

Black South Africans (especially youth) have been called every derogatory word in the book and continue to be called names even Today when they fight for what they're entitled to:"A luta continua! "

Aluta continua I wish we can hold this legacy like our fallen hero

A black democratically elected government is now version 1.1 of the apartheid government. Aluta continua

Some people still think that only those who went to exile in the 1960s are the only ones who fought for our freedom, people who were in townships and villages also suffered a lot during those dark apartheid years.

If our generation had half of character of this generation, we would have been far as black community. I hope one my people will fight for what's their, never mind the outcome.

Rip Mr Mashinini

I always search for this video just to listen to Tsietsi Mashinini. I feel ashamed that I couldn't articulate myself as well as he did at his age, despite receiving my education entirely in a democratic environment.

Imagine cruel security force killing an 8 yrs old kid, it's barbaric. Then same people come again and establish TRC, what a mockery to families of those killed in a brutal manner.

we will forever be grateful to these heroes

How can we forget😭😭😭😭

We're forever indebted Libembe, Ntozmandla, oval amasango ngamakhandza wamadoda, ubiya ngabafati lapho amanye amadzodza ebiya ngamahlahla, nhlitiyo tilishumi, Guliwe, ngwebende, ngwala ngwala...inkosi ayiqedwa

Bruh we take this shit for granted bruh

When the chief of police at Lanseria airport tells me that he preferred Apartheid and refers to the ANC as a mess. I know I've heard it all for the day.

What really bothers and concerns me is that " Penuel the god pen"said that he finds it ridiculous that the youth in 1976 fought for Afrikaans language to be removed in the school syllabus but did not fight for English to be removed. But what Penuel doesn't understand is that the youth in 1976 were fighting for something bigger than Afrikaans to be removed, that youth were fighting for injustices and discrimination that they faced everyday in that time,its easier for Penuel to subject the youth in 1976 that they were oblivious, but Penuel wasn't there in that time, he doesn't fully understand the dynamics that 🤔youth faced in their daily live activities...

Lama journalist yiwo ashise amaqabane.

Who are the female leaders?

Ah! Nkosana ቶkoza Wena Ngane Yok2La Siyabonga Teboho Danko Means ቶhank you & Aio Tsietsi Means Danger

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

True leardes

They cut out the part where he said no blacks my own land

This interesting prayer was given in Kansas, USA, at the opening session of their Senate. It seems prayer still upsets some people. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard: "Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says: "Woe to those who call evil good", but that is exactly what we have done. * We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. * We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it Pluralism. * We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism. * We have endorsed perversion and called it alternative lifestyle. * We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. * We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. * We have killed our unborn and called it choice. * We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. * We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem. * We have abused power and called it politics. * We have embezzled public funds and called it essential expenses. * We have insitutionalised bribery and called it sweets of office. * We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. *We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. * We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh GOD, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!" The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa and Korea. With the LORD'S help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and WHOLEHEARTEDLY become our desire so that we again can be called "ONE NATION UNDER GOD." Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone on your list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by the world. How many people on your list will not receive this prayer. Do you have the boldness to pass it on?

I am watching these interviews in 2023,47 yrs after the Soweto uprising.I wonder where is Mr Mashinini?

Who is the journo?

Thina abanye ngeke sukhohlwe loku abasenza kona o'ndlebe zikhanya ilanga ✊🏾

Pleasure??????.......you must be befork!!!

What are the names of these heroines in this interview would like to connect the dots with the literature 🤔

The interviewer makes me think that he may have been a special branch, I would never have honored an interview by this kind of a person, don't trust him, bt overall, I will never forget our generation, all we can do now is to support the current generation to take it easy on alcohol and drugs and look at directions the country is going in order to know abt how their future will look like.

Who are the two ladies? They're brave

I was told by a man i used to work with that in those years he and other youngster in Cape town townships like Athlone,Bontiheuwel ect... Which was coloured areas the security police created gangs which was sponsored with clothes ect... with the sole mandate to kill any one who wanted to join the struggle . So in the end it would look like a gang killing but it was an excusion of that idea.

who were these ladies?

Anc has forgotten

It is evident and obvious that these press interviewers are agents of SA Apartheid homicidal police, less than 24 hours after your interview police know you location and are after you. Tseitse Mashinini is lucky to escape to exile. I am convinced that the SA homicidal police would have killed him extra judiciously as he predicted had he waited to be arrested. He was on the watch as soon as he saw them coming he bolted to exile. Mysteriously Mashinini died in exile West Africa in unexplained circumstances. He has only one enemy 'radically racist SA govt.'

The white journalist interviews tsietsi who was the most wanted , how did he got hold of him for the interview before he went to exile to save his life?

He sounds British lol

Mandela killed Tsietsi and Hani
