People in South Africa have celebrated the 40th anniversary of Youth Day, the start of the Soweto uprising.
Thousands of school students were protesting the use of Afrikaans as the language of instruction because they viewed it to be the language of the oppressor.
The military opened fire on them and killed hundreds of people over the following days and weeks as the protests spread.
