  | | In November 2009, the United Nations General Assembly designated 18 July, Nelson Mandela's birthday, as Mandela Day. This pays tribute to the man and his vision, and also serves as a platform for globally promoting social justice. | | | The secret Tuynhuys meeting between Nelson Mandela and P.W. Botha on 5 July 1989 set the course for a five year process of negotiations that would end apartheid and bring peace and democracy to South Africa. | | | On 29 June 2010 SAHA and the Ceasefire Campaign held a joint press conference to reveal details of the South African arms exports to foreign countries over the past several years. | | | Twenty five years ago, Matthew Goniwe, Fort Calata, Sparrow Mkonto and Sicelo Mhlauli were captured and murdered by security police. This marked a turning point for the South African struggle, but their deaths remained a mystery for decades to come. | | | Fifty five years ago, the Congress of the People met at Kliptown to sign the Freedom Charter, which served as the precursor to South Africa's current Bill of Rights. | | | The Ditsong National Museum of Military History is hosting an exhibition on the End Conscription Campaign (ECC) between 6 June and 30 August, 2010, including a number of evocative ECC struggle posters stored in SAHA's poster collection. | |
