INTRODUCTION Hannah (2014) states “…education is necessary to advance in any situation”. Hannah’s statement supports the great movement between the apartheid regime and the new democratic system in South Africa. In order for South Africa to have moved forward in all aspects in people’s lives, the people of South Africa had to fight for their basic rights (mainly the right to a fair education) to advance in any situation, which is to rid South Africa of the apartheid system. The apartheid system forcefully
The Soweto Uprising is commonly known for the protest in education. However, there is often little emphasis on the issues on the causes of the uprising as well as the effects that followed thereafter.

No education in Africa Out of two hundred native American pupils who are lucky enough to start school, just one of them can be expected to study engineering. Many children in Africa don't get the chance to learn and instead, go to work for their families and sometimes get themselves stuck in slavery.

Although the Khoisan are unquestionably the most indigenous people to Southern Africa, does this fact deny the positive indigenous status of many black people in Southern Africa?

In history, when a country is facing a specific problem, many leaders and role models rise to try to solve it. For example, people such as Desmond Mpilo Tutu, who have shaped society and the world - South Africa in particular - have changed views about religion, sexism, racism, and apartheid (Bio, 1). The world needs people such as Archbishop Tutu who dedicate their lives to make the world a better place. Considering Desmond's early life was very difficult, he initiated drastic change specifically
