The Makhubu family's close links with South Africa's history became iconic when a photograph of the body of a young boy, named Hector Pieterson, being carried to safety by a Makhubu family member during the Soweto uprising caught the attention of the world's media.

 

The Makhubu family continued to remain immersed in the historical events of South African struggle years and the transformation that followed. It is this person and deep involvement that makes Makhubu a leading tour company able to offer unique and informative insights into South Africa's people, culture and landscape, both past and present.
