- Hector Pieterson Museum and Memorial - Hector Pieterson became a powerful symbol of defiance during the Soweto Uprising on June 16, 1976. At just 12 years old, Hector was among the first students tragically killed when peaceful protests against the imposition of Afrikaans as the language of instruction in schools turned violent.
The iconic photograph of Hector’s lifeless body being carried by a fellow student, with his sister running alongside in distress, captured global attention and underscored the harshness of apartheid. This event was a pivotal moment in South Africa’s struggle for freedom.
