The Congress of south African students (COSAS) invites members of the media to the launch of "200 schools in 200 days" campaign joint together with the BDSSA arranged as follows:
Date: 12 June 2015
Venue is in Soweto (Moletsane Sports ground)
On this month commemorating the fearless generation of 1976 the organization will use this month to reclaim the day June 16 we however believe that June 16 should be student day not a youth day our formation in 1979 as the congress of south African students was influenced by the students uprising in 1976. Will also on the day of the launch of 200 days in 200 schools have a procession of a march to the venue where the launching will be taking place as part of paying tribute to the fearless students activists and the radical generation of 1976. Continuesly will on this June month intiate programs forging a war and making a clarion call against those rascals who displays our school uniforms in tarvens intoxicating alcohol saying they are celebrating June 16 we have however leant with concerns that each and every year south Africans celebrate June 16 like a festive season as the beacon of hope of the students advocating the interests of the students in pre tertiary level we find this acts very mediocre and we shall fight to the bitter end June 16 a students day no uniform shall be displayed in tarvens our uniform stands for academic excellence and its dignity shall be restored it needs to be respected. As an organization representing students of south Africa in pre tertiary level we will reclaim this day in each and every plartform we get it was a students uprising not a youth uprising we believe the students of south Africa deserves recognition in regards to the fearless mandate they vested to fight the apartheid accumulation regime Bantu education system. On our "200 schools in days" members of the National executive commitee of COSAS will be out doing school visit after the launch of the 200 hundred days in 200 schools campaign together with the BDSSA as we continue pledging our solidarity with the people of Palestine.
