Reading Time: < 1 minute

Two memorial services for prominent South Africans will be held in Johannesburg later Thursday.

One will be for legendary photographer Sam Nzima and the other for Supreme Court judge Lebotsang Ronnie Bosielo.

Nzima died on Saturday at the Rob Ferreira hospital in Mbombela in Mpumalanga while Judge Bosielo passed away at his Kyalami home in Midrand north of Johannesburg.

Fans and media personnel will converge at Media Company TisoBlackstar Group’s offices in Parktown from midday to remember the late Sam Nzima and pay their last respects.

Nzima is well known for his historic photo of a lifeless Hector Pieterson being carried by Mbuyisa Makhubu after being shot during the 1976 Soweto uprisings.

Judge Ronnie Bosielo will also be remembered for his sterling work while serving at various courts around the country before being appointed judge at the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein.

He also served as an acting judge of the Constitution court.

His memorial service will be held at 1pm at the Calvary Methodist church in Midrand.
