User:I SEE A DIFFERENT YOU

I See A Different You is a trio collective from Soweto using their passion for fashion, art and photography to portray Africa the way they see it.

Soweto came to the world's attention on 16 June 1976 with the Soweto Uprising, when mass protests erupted over the government's policy to enforce education in Afrikaans rather than English. Police opened fire in Orlando West on 10,000 marching students. The rioting continued and 200 people died on the first day in Soweto. Soweto and other townships became the stage for violent state repression and the heart of the resistance.

"That is the Soweto you know, and it is all true. BUT it is not the only story about Soweto! The following pictures are from our Soweto. The town of our birth, of our childhood, of our fights and tears, of our joy and parties, the Soweto of our first kiss and first spin in our Dad’s car." - I See A Different You
