As part of its centenary in 2006, the Sunday Times newspaper
created a trail of street memorials across South Africa to
celebrate newsmakers and important events of the last 100 years.
Great lives: Pivotal moments tells the stories behind these
memorials. The title presents an exciting sweep of South African
history, and honours ordinary and extraordinary people and moments
in South Africa's past- from Olive Schreiner's fight for women's
rights to Archbishop Desmond Tutu's leadership of the Truth and
reconciliation commission. Each intimate portrait reveals the
impact that segregation and apartheid had on people's daily lives.
The stories demonstrate the great hardships that were imposed. But
most importantly, they also demonstrate the individual and
collective spirit of courage and resistance that has characterised
much of the struggle for democracy in this country. The narratives
on these pages are enriched by the hitherto unseen archival
treasures and images gathered by the team from the South African
History Archive.
