EDITORS COMMENTS
This albumen print captures the dignified presence of Tiyo Soga, a prominent figure in South African history. Taken in the late 1860s by T. C. Henderson, this portrait showcases Soga's remarkable achievements as a journalist, Christian missionary, and translator. Soga holds an esteemed place in history as the first black South African to be ordained. His dedication to his faith and commitment to bridging cultural divides are evident in this image. Seated on a chair with an oval backdrop, he exudes wisdom and strength. The photograph was later engraved for the frontispiece of "The Model Kafir" by Rev. H. T. Cousins, published in London in 1897. This publication further solidified Soga's legacy and contributed to his recognition as a trailblazer within both religious and literary circles. In this portrait, Soga is depicted holding a book, symbolizing his intellectual pursuits and passion for education. As one of the few black journalists of his time, he used his platform to advocate for social justice and challenge racial prejudices. Through this powerful image captured by Henderson's lens, we glimpse into the life of Tiyo Soga - a man who defied societal expectations and left an indelible mark on South Africa's history through his unwavering commitment to Christianity, translation work, journalism, and activism.
