Who owns a photograph? Goldblatt archive should remain in Cape Town

I am currently studying for a Masters degree in Photography at Falmouth specialising in documentary photography. As a South African I pride myself in the heritage , both colonial and Post apartheid. While it is a problem for those affected by the wrong doings of the past, it still remains our past that cannot and should not be obliterated. Dawid understood both sides. He lived it, he engaged with it. He recorded the human experience delibrately not involving with idealists on both sides. His protest relates to who he was. He did not lose trust in the university but protested against the new that wanted to act like Nazi's and burn priceless items for the sake of their ideology. They forget that the many tribes were imperialists too. All people make mistakes. Those that don't remember are destined to repeat it. Artwork like Cecil John rodes statue was an excellent Multi media opportunity and space to remember and discuss the past. its ills and how to move forward. This was his point. not fear for his library. In his personal way, he just wanted anything to do with what was going on.
