Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele has conveyed condolences to the family and relatives of anti-apartheid struggle stalwart, Fatima Meer who passed away on 12 March 2010.
“We want to convey our condolences to the family and relatives of Fatima Meer. This is a great loss, but she can rest knowing she fought a good fight. Because of her intellect, she was a formidable opponent of apartheid and when apartheid’s victory was becoming assured, because everyone else was banned, through her writings and research into apartheid and its workings, she inspired a lot of other activists. She kept the fires burning in the dark days of apartheid. May her soul rest in peace,” said Minister Ndebele.
