South Africa mourns the loss of Dr. Peter Magubane, an internationally renowned photographer and social activist who passed away at 91. Dr. Magubane’s evocative images shed light on apartheid’s oppressive regime, including Nelson Mandela’s postincarceration freedom. His legacy was acknowledged by South Africa’s President, Cyril Ramaphosa, and his influence extended beyond the country’s borders to inspire advocacy worldwide. Dr. Magubane’s belief that “a struggle without documentation is not a struggle” transformed his camera into a potent instrument for advocating peaceful change and inspiring the relentless crusade for justice and equality.
