South Africans reflect on what Human Rights Day means to them

50 years on from the Sharpeville massacre and 20 years after the release of Nelson Mandela, South Africans consider how far human rights have come in the rainbow nation.  

We don’t want to open up old wounds. We need life to go on and need to create space so that our children can embark on a new page of life.” - Victor Makene

“Human rights day in SA to me is an affirmation that me being able to do what everyone else does” - Versha Rowjee

The Every Human Has Rights campaign caught up with four South Africans from different walks of life to talk about what still needs to be done for human rights in South Africa.  To hear what they had to say and to join the conversation, visit http://www.everyhumanhasrights.org
