Soweto: A History - Angus Gibson, raised in Durban, visited a friend in Johannesburg, a city defined by a white ridge of mine dumps that mark where the gold lay. On a Sunday afternoon, a young Angus walked across one such mine dump to be startled by what lay on the other side - Soweto, an unseen city of black people insulated from the white enclaves.

Since then, he has been driven to show the unseen and articulate the unsaid about this country. SOWETO, A HISTORY, a six part documentary series on a vibrant and resilient city of over four million people, was a natural consequence of ordinary people and has turned a fragile oral history into a lasting asset.

The negatives for these incredible photographs featured were discovered by Angus, abandoned in the backroom of an old photo studio whilst doing research for SOWETO: A HISTORY.

Whilst Angus was trying to persuade the South African National Gallery to purchase this unique collection, the photographer died. His family destroyed the collection not realising it's value.
