More than thirty years ago, Tsietsi Mashinini, at the tender age of nineteen, led hundreds of thousands of students, through the streets of Soweto on a march that was to change the course of history in South Africa.

In 1976, Tsietsi Mashinini was a standard nine pupil at Morris Isaacson High School in Soweto. When students in Soweto decided to take action against the government for forcing them to use Afrikaans as a medium of instruction, Tsietsi was a natural choice for the leadership position.
