Soweto uprising
A week after the uprising began, US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the United States Secretary of State met South African State President, Vorster in West Germany to discuss the situation in Rhodesia, but the Soweto uprising did not feature in the discussions. Kissinger and Vorster met again in Pretoria in September 1976, with students in Soweto and elsewhere protesting his visit and being fired on by police.
