Veteran ANC activist Achmat Semaar dies | BraGrobbies
ANC veteran and father of journalist Karima Brown, Achmat Semaar, passed away at the age of 72 on Monday.
"It is with great sadness that we wish to announce the passing of one of our most dedicated, respected and loved members," Cruywagen said. Brown said:"My father was an activist all his life. He was always involved with ordinary people. He was a father to many and was incredible. If he did not work for the ANC he would have died."
"In the time known as the struggle, he was a beacon of light, a voice that comforted and brought help. He made it his business to care for detainees and their families and made sure that they were not forgotten. Truly he was one of our greatest sons."
