The plot is on the historical grounds of the Old Police Station where the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre took place (see photo, credit: www.saha.org.za).

This historical breakthrough is the result of increased lobbying of the local council the last two months after years of hard work by Khulumani Sharpeville.

Local businesses and churches have also joined in and will provide the required resources and equipment identified in the Khulumani business plan for food gardens. Local Khulumani members will work in the food gardens.

CONGRATULATIONS MA’ PHETANE AND THE SHARPEVILLE GROUP!
