Remember Philip Kgosana - A Tribute to a great South African - 4' 35"

Philip Kgosana Drive, Devil's Peak Estate - Cape Town
On Thursday 12 October 2017, Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille unveiled De Waal Drive as Philip Kgosana Drive.
The road was originally named after Nicolaas de Waal, the first administrator of the Cape Province who initiated the Road's construction. De Waal Drive is set against, Table Mountain and is the main highway leading out of the City towards Cape Town International Airport and the Southern Suburbs.
The proposal for renaming the road came from Cape Times Editor Tony Heard, who was present at the protest on March 30, 1960. This protest was led by Philip Kgosana, who was then, only 23 Years old. Thousands of people followed him from Langa to Parliament. Protestors marched about 12 km via De Waal Drive into the City to protest against the "pass laws" & the Sharpeville Massacre. Kgosana was arrested and within a week the Apartheid Government declared a state of the Nation emergency and banned the African National Congress and the PAC driving their movements underground and into militarisation.
Out on bail, Philip Kgosana went into exile for 37 years only able to return to South Africa with the unbanning of the PAC and transition to democracy in 1990 / 1994.
Philip Kgosana died on April 19, 2017 aged 80 after a short illness.
