While South Africans across the country are celebrating Human Rights Day today, we commemorate the tragic death of 69 people who were shot dead during the Sharpeville massacre 49 years ago.

Government says the day has been set aside to remind South Africans and the world that South Africans will never again be denied their human rights.
