Mkhize Petros

Petros Sipho Mkhize was born on the 20 January 1938 and raised in Macambini, a rural area in KwaZulu-Natal. Little is documented about his early life, but like many young African men of his generation, Mkhize would have grown up in a society already defined by racial segregation and the early structures of what would become formal Apartheid. The rural areas of KwaZulu-Natal were designated as "native reserves" under the 1913 Land Act, limiting African land ownership to just 7% of South Africa's territory and creating the conditions that would force generations of young men to seek work in the industrial centers of the Witwatersrand.
