Should "disappear" be "disappears"?
Context:
JOHN COMAROFF: It’s obviously extremely sad. He was a genuine hero who, during the bad old days, stood, inspirationally, for the ethical core of the ANC and the anti-apartheid struggle; indeed, for the best face of a political age that we’ve seen disappear across the world.

So "see and disappear" in "we’ve seen disappear" go together and cannot be separated?
That is, the subject of the verb disappear is not "best face"?

'Disappear' is a bare infinitive. As such, it has no grammatical subject.
