TRIBUTE TO ROD DONALD
On behalf of the South African government and its people I wish to express our sincere condolences at the passing of Green Party co-leader Rod Donald.
To Nicola, Holly, Emma and Zoe we say our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time and in the days that lie ahead.
Rod was a principled champion for Human Rights and we will always remember his contribution to the South African struggle for Justice not just during 1981 but consistently over the years.
At a personal level I fondly remember the many private and public platforms we have shared and Rod’s passionate commitment in standing up for the causes he believed in.
A good man has passed on But the Dream for a Better Life for all lives on.
ENDS
