President Cyril Ramaphosa says South Africa is still grappling with the painful legacy of injustice dating back to the 1900s.
Ramaphosa says that black soldiers, including survivors of the tragic sinking of the SS Mendi, were never properly recognised for their bravery and sacrifice during the first World War.
He was delivering the keynote address at the Armed Forces Day celebrations in Thohoyandou, Limpopo.
