Today is Human Rights Day in South Africa - the 21st of March commemorating the Sharpeville Massacre and reminding South Africans about the sacrifices that accompanied the struggle for democracy. On 21 March 1960, the township communities across South Africa embarked on a protest march against pass laws. The apartheid police shot and killed 69 of the protesters at Sharpeville, many of who were shot while fleeing. Many other people were killed in other parts of the country - and it exposed the apartheid government’s deliberate violation of human rights to the world. Our South African Constitution is regarded as one of the most progressive in the world – and it’s also the protector of our Human Rights.

JOHANNESBURG, 21 March 2016 - South Africa has some key legislation that caters for people with disabilities. The reality is that these laws have not made life any easier for the disabled community.

Angelo Fick speaks on Human Rights Day in South Africa

On Human Rights Day, we as South Africans are asked to reflect on our rights and how to protect ourselves against violations. So: what does Human Rights Day mean to you?

SA Rugby has proudly endorsed a TAG rugby exhibition match between the Jozi Cats, South Africa’s first gay and inclusive competitive rugby team, and the SAHRC today in celebration of Human Rights Day.

The month of March marks Human Rights Month in South Africa. Human Rights Day on the 21 March, a public holiday in the country is also declared International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination by the UN. For many South Africans, the day is synonymous with the township of Sharpeville where police in March 1961 shot dead 69 unarmed people who refused to carry the hated dompas identity document that was meant only for indigenous Africans. This year the day coincides with the 20th anniversary of the signing of the final draft of the Constitution into law and the 60th anniversary of the 1956 Women's March to the Union Buildings. 55 years after Sharpeville racism, poverty, a widening inequality gap and a crackdown on Human rights activists in some parts of the continent continue to hamper a human rights culture.

Human Rights Day (21 March) was officially declared a public holiday in 1994 following the inauguration of former president Nelson Mandela. This national day-off is both a stark reminder of the tragic Sharpeville massacre and a celebration of South Africa’s unique constitution, which gives equal rights to all.

The Constitution of a country is a set of rules and values for those who govern and those who are governed. South Africa is what we call a constitutional democracy. Our Constitution of 1996 is the supreme legal document of the Republic of South Africa. It protects our rights as citizens and offers special provisions to hold political leaders accountable, in line with democratic values and principles. We are no longer subjects to the whims of an authoritarian regime, but can be active citizens in a constitutional democracy.

Many South Africans believe that South Africa has the best, most progressive constitution in the world. But is that true? And what does that actually mean? David Taylor analyses this often-quoted fact.

South Africa has had four constitutions. first one, in 1910 when the country became a union. second in 1961. In 1961, when South Africa was declared a republic, the government adopted the second constitution. Then in 1983 the government passed the third constitution. the current one was adopted in 1994, and has been hailed as one of the most progressive even by global standards.

The former Robben Island prison guard who befriended Nelson Mandela during his time on the island prison described him as a "father" and "a person which you can look up to." Christo Brand was a young jailer when Mandela, who had already spent a number of years in prison, was assigned to his guard. Brand and Mandela developed a friendship over the years of Mandela's imprisonment on Robben Island. Mandela was sent to Robben Island prison after being convicted of treason. The anti-apartheid campaigner was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964 for leading a campaign of sabotage against the government. Brand was his prison warder from 1978 until Mandela's release in 1990. "We as a country will miss him, I will also very much miss his voice. Even to see him on a regular basis, I will miss that a lot," said Brand on Saturday. The anti-apartheid leader died on Thursday aged 95. Brand expressed his wishes for Mandela's family and said, "I am thinking of the family today, what they go through." "All these arrangements they have made for the funeral, and I hope everything run very smooth, and then also that they are not fighting, the family, that they can reconcile, and everything is quiet and that everything will be done. Mandela would want to go out really as quiet as possible," he said. Brand recollected the leader's wish to be buried in his rural hometown, Qunu. "If his last resting place was Qunu, that's what he said to me, I say to Mandela, "We must bury you on Robben Island." Then he just laughed he said "Why?', I said, "For tourist attraction". He said, '(For) that you should have made money, but I think I must go to Qunu.' That was him making a joke," Brand said. The state funeral and burial for the Nobel Peace Prize laureate will be held in Qunu, in the Eastern Cape province, on Sunday December 15.

On 21 March, South Africa commemorates the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre, where 69 people were killed and 180 injured when police opened fire on protesters who were burning their passbooks which restricted the movement of black people, at the Sharpeville Police Station.

As we commemorate the death of 69 peaceful protestors from Sharpeville in 1960, we take a look at what the Bill of rights says. Chapter two of the constitution of South Africa, speaks of different human rights afforded to its citizens, among these rights are seven non-derogable rights.

The South African Human Rights Commission has released its annual report on trends in human rights violations in South Africa. The Trends Analysis Report provides an analysis of human rights violations in South Africa over the past five years. For more we cross to our reporter Lopang Alamu who attended the briefing in Johannesburg.

The South African Human Rights Commission has found that controversial Julius Malema comments do not constitute hate speech. This after a probe into five complaints of hate speech made by various parties about EFF events between 2016 and last year.

Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle. Stop worrying how it's going to happen and start believing that it will.

Struggles, challenges and hard times offer you much more value than any other time in your life. You can not grow without struggle. You can not get STRONGER without resistance. Think about a time in your life that may have been hard, but forced you to become better.

Human rights may be based upon values that have ancient origins…. but this does not mean they are static and never changing. If we can track progress in the past, can we also imagine it in the future? Shabas challenges us to think about what our human rights will look like in half a century. Professor William A. Schabas is professor of international law at Middlesex University in London. He is also professor of international human law and human rights at Leiden University, emeritus professor of human rights law at the National University of Ireland Galway and honorary chairman of the Irish Centre for Human Rights. Professor Schabas holds BA and MA degrees in history from the University of Toronto and LLB, LLM and LLD degrees from the University of Montreal, as well as several honorary doctorates. He is the author of more than twenty books dealing in whole or in part with international human rights law and international criminal law, including the European Convention on Human Rights (Oxford 2015), The Universal Declaration of Human Rights: The travaux pr?paratoires (Cambridge 2013), Unimaginable Atrocities (Oxford, 2012), The International Criminal Court: A Commentary on the Rome Statute (Oxford, 2010), Introduction to the International Criminal Court (Cambridge, 2011).

As we celebrate youth day it's important to remember those that sacrificed their lives for our freedom in the Soweto Uprising on this day in 1976. An event that reverberated across the world and changed the course of history in South Africa.

On The Stream: How much has life changed for young South Africans since the 1976 Soweto uprising?

In South Africa, tributes continue to pour in for the man who captured perhaps the most iconic image of the 1976 Soweto uprisings. Legendary photojournalist, Sam Nzima, died unexpectedly on Saturday night.

South Africa is marking 40 years since the Soweto student uprising, which marked a pivotal turn in the fight against apartheid. As the nation looks back on the tragic, violent protests, both old and young say their nation is better for it but still far from perfect.

The Soweto Massacre marked a watershed moment in the fight against apartheid in South Africa. Thousands of students mobilized against a decree of Afrikaans as an official language of instruction in schools and police responded by shooting into the crowds killing dozens of people.

In South Africa, 41 years after the Soweto's uprising, the cost of the fight for quality education and freedom in the country is told through a documentary film directed by Sifiso Khanyile titled UPRIZE. The film debuted at the Encounters film festival and is now set to take on more screens in and around South Africa. CGTN's Julie Scheier has more.
