Denis Goldberg – an outspoken stalwart not blinded by personal accolades

Pretoria – The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation on Thursday described late anti-apartheid stalwart Denis Goldberg as a politically unflinching patriot whose political consciousness was not blinded by personal accolades.

The Kathrada Foundation said it was “deeply honoured” by its historical association with the late Goldberg. He spent more than two decades in prison after being convicted in the Rivonia Trial. After his release, he spent several years in exile, working for the ANC in London from 1985 to 1994. “This is the generation that understood that satisfaction in life comes from serving others. Theirs was a selfless commitment to the liberation of our country. They spared no effort in securing our liberation," ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule said in a statement.
