Young debaters take centre stage at Apartheid Museum
The South African Debating Team and Soweto Debating Academy will debate whether economic empowerment or political representation is the key to women’s liberation.
Members of the public and media are invited to attend a youth debate at the Apartheid Museum taking place on September 19 from 10:00 to 13:00.
This will bring together the South African Debating Team and the Soweto Debating Academy for a thought-provoking discussion on women’s liberation.
Renowned broadcaster Bongani Bingwa will moderate the debate.
The teams will debate the motion: “Do we prioritise economic empowerment over political representation as the key to women’s liberation.”
The debate forms part of the museum’s ongoing programming around the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Women’s March, giving young people an opportunity to engage with the legacy of women’s political activism while considering the challenges and priorities of women’s liberation today.
Members of the public and media are invited to attend. Refreshments will be served.
RSVP to RSVP@apartheidmuseum.org by September 12.
