 An exhibition of the 1990 Northern Areas uprising opened at the Red Location Museum in Port Elizabeth on Thursday night.

The expo, titled "The 1990 'Northern Areas' Uprising in Context" is an initiative of the Northern Areas History and Heritage Project funded by the National Lotteries Distribution Trust Fund.

It was facilitated by the non-profit organisation, Southern Africa Development, Research, and Training Institute.

The 1990 unrest, in which an estimated 59 people lost their lives, was commemorated last year by the surviving families through the erection of a commemorative stone in honor of the victims of the tragedy.
