More than six decades after the Sharpeville massacre in South Africa, survivors and families have launched a class-action lawsuit seeking compensation. In 1961, white South African police fired on a crowd of black protesters opposed to apartheid. Dozens were killed. Their families say their claims for reparations were denied. Al Jazeera’s Haru Mutasa reports from Sharpeville, South Africa.
