In May 1996, South Africa adopted its democratic Constitution after years of struggle.

Later that year, on 10 December, President Nelson Mandela signed it into law not in a grand hall, but in Sharpeville.

The same place where 69 people were killed in 1960.

What was once a site of tragedy became a symbol of hope, dignity, and equality.

Sharpeville reminds us that even the darkest moments in history can give birth to freedom.
