The Black Conscious Movement-United has joined the call for Human Rights Day to be renamed Sharpeville Day.
Monday marks 62 years since the Sharpeville Massacre where 69 unarmed people were killed at the hands of the apartheid police.
They were protesting against unjust pass laws.
Hlulani Mabasa, President of the Black Consciousness Movement – United, said: “It’s not only [the] Sharpeville Massacre which has been changed it also June 16, Soweto Uprising you see concerted effort to ensure that these days are not called what they are because they are afraid that they bring bad memories to those who benefited from colonialism at the same time they are distorting history”.
