The African Transformation Movement (ATM) pays homage to the selfless men and women of this country, who on this day 63 years ago, were massacred in absolute brutality at the hands of the Apartheid regime after they marched peacefully in Sharpeville against the brutal, inhumane, and degrading laws of the time, particularly pass laws.
We must first acknowledge that South Africa has since come a long way from that day and has made many strides over the years. In 1996, we passed a constitution that guarantees all citizens, regardless of their race, sex, or creed, their inalienable and non-derogable right to life, equality, and human dignity. A constitution that is now the cornerstone of our democracy.
