Talk:Hector Pieterson

message: :This man's name is pretty obviously Peterson instead of Pieterson. To prove that there is a Hector Peterson Memorial Library in Cape Town, South Africa and finaly you can read his name at the Hector Peterson Memorial. --212.114.164.185 06:31, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: A google search for "Hector Petierson" soweto -wikipedia returns only 19 hits. With Peterson there are over 10,000. Move to Peterson ? Wizzy…☎ 11:20, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hector's family insists that the correct spelling is Pieterson. The offical name of the first museum in Soweto is the Hector Pieterson Memorial Museum according to the telephone book. See Joburg council's site for Pitso or Petersen or Pieterson? --Jcw69 14:10, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I am a bit confused.  This article states that, 
"By the end of that fateful day 566 children were dead."
The article History of South Africa in the Apartheid Era, while refering to the exact same incident that, 
"The official death toll on the day was 23 dead, but some placed it as high as 200."
Please clarify as to which is correct.  It may be that I am reading one or the other incorrectly.  If so, please clarify.  Thank you.
The article "Soweto Uprising" dealing with the actual events of that day states:  "The number of people who died is usually given as 176, with estimates of up to 700."  It includes 3 references for this information.  South African Government Information website claims approximately 700 deaths during the weeks following this event.

replies: text: I noticed this as well. If he was 13, there's no way he was born in 1964. Tad Lincoln (talk) 01:22, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

message: It's commonly implied that he has been shot by police, but what is the proof for this? --165.143.9.128 (talk) 15:34, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Seems nobody really knows this, or if they know, they don't tell us the truth. I'm sure Hector would still be alive, if he was in class learning what he was supposed to learn. --105.0.7.11 (talk) 13:03, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Your comment is not required as you are clearly a white supremacist.  Our south African children had to take to the streets at that time to demonstrate against the evil apartheid system and the children were right to demonstrate.  The evil police and evil system of apartheid are accountable for their deadly actions against the indigenous youths of South Africa.. 86.6.98.203 (talk) 20:11, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
