The Diepkloof Arst Academy commemoration walk was a success, with collaborations of the two high schools, Madibane and Namedi High school in Diepkloof Zone 3. About a 150 grade 8 and 9 students, teachers and Marshals took part in the walk as to commemorate the youth of June 16 1976.Before the walk a speech from Sizwe Mabanga inspired the students and encouraged them to focus on building a better future for themselves.The walk ended at the Hector Peterson Museum were students went in the museum for free and they got to learn more about the events that led to the June 16 massacre.The students were also happy for the fact that they experience what the students of that time felt and they understood the power of youth when they come together to voice an a opinion or and idea. We would like to thank Namedi and Madibane High School, Volunteers(Marshals) , Hector Peterson Museum, SAPS , Learners for making this project a success.
