Do you know who Mbuyisa Makhubu is? His tortured face stares out from Sam Nzima's famous photograph of the 1976 Soweto Uprising but little is known about the tall, lanky man in dungarees carrying a wounded Hector Pieterson.

EWN Reporter Mandy Wiener recently compiled a four-part podcast titled “Through The Cracks” which investigates Mbuyisa Makhubu’s journey from the most wanted man in Soweto, into exile and to his disappearance in 1978.
