From Struggle to strength: Soweto's community leaders drive social entrepreneurship
Soweto, a sprawling landscape synonymous with South Africa’s struggle for liberation, is now becoming a beacon of self-reliance, driven by a new generation of community leaders and social entrepreneurs.Fifty years on from the iconic June 16, 1976 Soweto uprising, a moment when young people stood up to a brutal, oppressive government, a new generation in Soweto is finding its voice again. But this time, they are tackling the challenges of a democratic South Africa. Just like the students of ’76 demanded a life of dignity, free from apartheid policy, today’s community leaders and entrepreneurs are showing autonomy and taking on service delivery failures head-on from hunger and the digital divide to the struggle for affordable electricity. They are turning the site of a historic political fight into an example of self-reliance, proving that the drive for a better future is still very much alive and rooted in the strength of the community itself.
