Welcome to today’s episode, where we’re taking a moment to reflect on the significance of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, observed every year on March 21st. This day holds deep historical meaning, as it commemorates a tragic moment in history: on this day in 1960, police in Sharpeville, South Africa, opened fire on peaceful protesters, killing 69 people who were demonstrating against the discriminatory apartheid "pass laws." In this particular podcast, we pay particular attention to the Khoi and San people, and we ask activist Simon Witbooi(Nama) about their place in the new South Africa.
