In Sight of Peace bears eloquent witness to South Africa’s extraordinary journey from segregation and inequality towards justice, peace and reconciliation.
Still moving and challenging today, these iconic images span the years from the 1960 Sharpeville massacre to the free election of President Nelson Mandela and the ‘Rainbow Nation’ reconstruction years.
The frailty of former President Mandela himself at present adds a particular poignancy to these outstanding photograph’s and images of personal struggle and social change.
