The Soweto Rebellion in 1976 was primarily driven by the imposition of Afrikaans as the medium of instruction in black schools, which was seen as a symbol of the oppressive apartheid regime. Students protested against educational inequities and the lack of quality schooling, demanding their right to learn in their native languages. The brutal response from the police, including the shooting of peaceful demonstrators, further fueled anger and resistance against apartheid. This uprising became a pivotal moment in the struggle against racial oppression in South Africa.
