Mbuyisa Makhubo

Mbuyisa Makhubo is best known for his iconic role in the Soweto uprising of June 16, 1976, when he was photographed carrying the lifeless body of Hector Pieterson, a 12-year-old boy shot by police during a protest against apartheid education policies in South Africa. This powerful image became a symbol of the struggle against racial oppression and is often credited with galvanizing international support for the anti-apartheid movement.
