It’s also true that the origins of the holiday are likely to be forgotten as the years wear on, as it is many kids from the post 94 era quite possibly are clueless about it and frankly do not care. I know that the governing party sought reconciliation when the 21st of March was termed “human rights day” but only time will tell whether it’ll be to the cost of Sharpville/Langa Day. But of greater importance is what happens without the various households of the republic on such days, if ever.
