Magubane passed away at the age of 91 earlier this month.
His art, which portrays the struggle of the black majority under the harsh apartheid regime, has won him recognition on a global scale. Through his lens, the experienced photographer vividly captured the spirit of the people during the historic 1976 Soweto uprising that defined our nation’s history.
Last week, President Cyril Ramaphosa expressed his condolences following the passing of the 91-year-old icon.
“I have learned with great sadness of the passing of… Peter Magubane. On behalf of government and the nation, I offer my deep condolences to the Magubane family, our veteran’s friends and his countless associates around the country and globally,” said President Ramaphosa.”
