As part of youth month and a day after June 16, we look at the legacy of that historic moment. And if pictures tell a thousand words; or untold stories, an iconic picture taken by photograph taken by Sam Nzima showing Mbuyisa Makhubo carrying Hector Pieterson after Pieterson was shot during the Soweto Uprising in 1976 still lives on.
In 2013, claims emerged that a man, Victor Vinnetou, imprisoned in Canada for the previous eight years on immigration charges was Mbuyisa.
And genetic tests were conducted to determine whether the man was indeed Mbuyisa Makhubo. His family joins us now to tell us how that day has caused painful memories and anguish till today.
We are now joined by Ntsiki Gwen Makhubu, Mbuyisa Makhubu's sister and his Nephew Sifiso Makhubu.

"In 2013, claims emerged that a man, Victor Vinnetou, imprisoned in Canada for the previous eight years on immigration charges was Makhubu.[8] Genetic tests were conducted to determine whether he was indeed Mbuyisa Makhubo.[9] It was later reported that the DNA tests did not substantiate the man's claim to be Makhubu, to the disappointment of Makhubu's family,[7] though the DNA test was reported to have been done on a family member without blood relations to both parents.[10]"

I Think if my memory serves me well, the DNA did not match because he has a different father. He was never told that his "dad" was actually his stepdad. This story breaks my heart because the secrets that our families keep can destroy us. 702 did an interview with him and he was very angry that Gov could not bring him back to SA because of the DNA results. He will die alone/lost soul in Canada.💔

Mbuyisa Makhubo Must be found. I feel the DNA test could have been manipulated back then. Please revive the search and get trusted source to relook at DNA.
