  Hastings Ndlovu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hastings Ndlovu, (Born 1961; Died June 16, 1976) was a fl Soweto schoolboy who died in the Soweto riots.
Hastings Ndlovu's shooting and later death was not publicized as was Hector Pieterson's, because there was no photographer present to shoot a picture of the boy.
Hastings Ndlovu was buried with Hector Pieterson at Avalon Cemetry in Johannesburg.

The boy, 15-year-old Hastings Ndlovu, was believed to be the first child to be shot in Orlando West in confrontations with the police on 16 June, 1976, the day Soweto exploded in violent uprisings against the apartheid government.
In fact it's most likely that Ndlovu was the first child to be shot, although it seems likely that Pieterson died before Ndlovu - Pieterson was declared dead when he arrived at Phefeni Clinic while Klein puts the time of Hastings' death at around midday or shortly thereafter, several hours after he was shot.
Ndlovu and Pieterson are buried at Avalon Cemetery in Soweto.

Sifiso Ndlovu, in his book, The Soweto Uprisings: Counter Memories of June 1976, questions the role of SASM or any other organisation outside of Soweto in the evolution of the youth rebellion that followed.
According to Ndlovu, the student leaders that later emerged — such as Tsietsie Mashinini and Murphy Morobe, both belonging to SASM — were students in the higher grades “and were not involved in our struggle”.
That struggle began with a boycott of classes in protest against Afrikaans as a medium of instruction, which began in junior secondary and higher primary schools.

The Afrikaners I meet on a daily basis are not as jingoistic about their language as the then-minister of Bantu education, Michael Botha, who in 1976 imposed Afrikaans on fl scholars; but, boy, do they embrace their language.
