The
Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality will host a Human Rights Commemoration event in
Uitenhage on Friday, 21 March. The event will be in a form of a tribute to the
victims of the massacre (the departed and their families) for their role in
breaking the stranglehold of Apartheid on its people.

Massacre victims and many freedom fighters in the name of the Human Rights we
enjoy today.

this historic event, lobby support and recognition of the Uitenhage massacre to
be commemorated and celebrated at provincial and national level, and to harness
support from all relevant partners to mobilize resources to improve all the
sites linked to the Uitenhage massacre.
