A TRIBUTE TO GEORGE BIZOS - A LARGER THAN LIFE CRUSADER FOR JUSTICE
- 16 October 2020
- Key Dingake
On the 9th of September 2020 George Bizos, that unrelenting crusader for justice, succumbed to death at a ripe age of 92. His passing hit close to home. It left my brother, Mike (a former client of Bizos) heart-broken. I was similarly deeply saddened. He impacted on our lives in different ways. Mike wrote me soon after he learnt of his passing: “My intimates are falling in quick succession. Beginning to feel like I am in the queue”. Not long time ago he lost another close friend – Andrew Mlangeni, an anti-apartheid campaigner, who, along with my brother and Nelson Mandela were imprisoned for furthering the aims of the African National Congress (ANC) and were sentenced to serve in Robben Island.
