South Africa is mourning legendary photographer, Sam Nzima, who took the iconic picture of a wounded young Hector Pieterson.
He died at the age of 83 on Saturday night.
Nzima was working for the World Newspaper when he took the famous photograph.
The image displayed the brutality of the apartheid government to the world.
Nzima endured harassment by security police, who accused him of portraying South Africa in a bad light.
He was forced to leave Soweto for his village of Lilydale, in Mpumalanga and never again used the lens.
Nzima was honoured with the Order of Ikhamanga in Bronze in 2011.
