South African companies bidding to build an airport on St Helena have triggered fears that their workers may bring the first case of HIV/Aids to the British island.

The black-and-white photo illustrates the brutality of the apartheid regime: young Hector Pieterson carried by a fellow schoolboy after being gunned down by police on June 16 1976 in Soweto.
