The South African Council of Churches (SACC) has described the late founding Speaker of the National Assembly, Dr Frene Ginwala as a well recognised internationalist.

SACC Secretary General, Bishop Malusi Mpumlwana says her dedication and service set a high bar for excellence.

Ginwala passed away at her at home on Thursday night at the age of 90 after suffering a stroke two weeks ago. “The departure of Dr Ginwala, to whom the Order of Luthuli was bestowed, is like the cutting down of a huge baobab tree. She was a true champion of the ideals of a non-sexist and non-racial South Africa, ideals that are in danger in the current social reality of our country. She is a well known and well-recognised internationalist.

The Presidency in a statement says, “On behalf of the nation and of the legislative, executive and judicial components of the State, the President offers his sincere condolences to Dr Ginwala’s family, her nephews Cyrus, Sohrab and Zavareh,and their families.”
