A memorial service is being held on Wednesday at the Playhouse, Durban, for veteran playwright and musician Mbongeni Ngema, who died in a car crash on December 27.
Born in 1932 in the Johannesburg suburb of Vrededorp - now Pageview - Magubane grew up in Sophiatown, once a hub to famous Black artists that was eventually destroyed under apartheid. He died peacefully around midday, his daughter Fikile Magubane said. He would have turned 92 on Jan. 18. One of his landmark images, taken a year later in a wealthy Johannesburg suburb, showed a white girl sitting on a bench with a sign reading "Europeans Only" while a Black worker sat behind her combing her hair.
