Isi artikel
In the south-west corner of Soweto, a district in Johannesburg, lies the cemetery of Avalon, a vast swathe of rough grass and granite headstones that stretches as far as the eye can see. It was here, in the 1970s and 1980s, that thousands of black South Africans would come to bury the fallen, singing forbidden struggle songs and firing guns in a show of defiance against the apartheid regime. Today the place is deserted. Avalon is almost full despite three extensions that took it to 360 hectares, and so are many other cemeteries, including 27 out of the 35 in Johannesburg.
