## Media ### Subtitle panorama_68484D56_61EA_1D47_41D0_19A723025D32.subtitle = This unique exhibition features photographs of the country’s best-loved former leader, Nelson Mandela, by one of its best-known photojournalists, Dr Peter Magubane and is a fitting way to mark the 10th anniversary of the only university that bears Mandela’s name. \ \ “This is our country’s history. These are the things that Madiba and so many others were jailed for … Madiba made great sacrifices for us all. We must never forget that,” said Magubane, 83, who on Saturday (4 July) received the 2015 Nat Nakasa award for his courageous photojournalism during apartheid, jointly awarded by the South African National Editors Forum (SANEF), the Nieman Society and Print Media South Africa. \ \ Magubane – who first photographed Mandela in the 1950s, later visited him on Robben Island and was waiting outside Victor Verster Prison on the day of his release – was the former statesman’s official photographer from 1990 to 1994, when he was elected as President. \ \ In this role, he chronicled the first few years of Mandela’s freedom and the last part of South Africa’s long journey towards democracy. He travelled the word at Mandela’s side, photographing him with royalty and heads of states, but also saw him relaxing at home with his family, capturing quieter, more intimate moments rarely seen by the world. \ \ Magubane turned these photographs – together with powerful images from pivotal struggle events like Sharpeville and the 1976 Soweto riots – into the book Man of the People: A Photographic Tribute to Nelson Mandela. \ \ And it is this book, Magubane’s personal tribute to his friend Mandela, which has provided the inspiration and the photographs for this exhibition. \ \ Quoted in his book, Magubane says: “[Y]ou will find pictures of Mandela being serious and then he is holding a baby; at other times he is jiving and dancing. This is the man who most white South Africans thought might be different. Instead of confirming their worst fears of pushing them out of the country, he offered hands of peace, saying: “Come, let’s work together, let’s build this country together.” \ \ Photos from “The Early Years” (when Mandela was a rising politician), “The Struggle Years” and “The Freedom Years” are to be seen in this exhibition. \ \ Magubane first worked at Drum in the 1950s – and was the first black photographer to win a prize for press photography in South Africa. He later worked for the Rand Daily Mail and for Time Magazine South Africa. \ \ He was arrested several times, and endured 586 days in solitary confinement, along with a five-year banning from 1970 to 1975. \ \ Awarding Magubane an Order for Meritorious Service in 1999, Mandela said the stories Magubane told through his photographs “helped pave the way to transformation in South Africa.” \ \ \ \ \ panorama_68488BB1_61EA_05DD_41AC_6823B87B4E7D.subtitle = This unique exhibition features photographs of the country’s best-loved former leader, Nelson Mandela, by one of its best-known photojournalists, Dr Peter Magubane and is a fitting way to mark the 10th anniversary of the only university that bears Mandela’s name. \ \ “This is our country’s history.
