Petersen was the first victim of the "Soweto uprising" which gave birth to the movement that defeated apartheid. This picture was taken for the now defunct "World" newspaper which was banned and closed down by the apartheid government in 1977. Mbuyisa Makhuba went underground days after the photograph was published and his mother last received letters from him from Nigeria over 20 years ago. The Hector Petersen memorial now stands in Soweto in memory of those who died in the struggle for freedom.
