Soweto uprising: Children who marched against apartheid
When South African schoolchildren marched in protest against having to study Afrikaans in 1976, they were gunned down by the police.
The killings sparked a cycle of protests across the country against the racist apartheid regime.
In 2010, march organiser Bongi Mkhabela told Alan Johnston about her memories of the Soweto uprising.
