This is according to President Cyril Ramaphosa, who delivered the eulogy at Bizos' funeral service in Johannesburg on Thursday.
It thus came as no wonder that Bizos, who was known for his role in the famous Rivonia trial, chose a life of being the shield for those against whom injustice was perpetrated. The apartheid regime thus denied Bizos citizenship for three decades despite his permanent residence.Ramaphosa added that Bizos's personal experience with injustice channelled him towards being an activist lawyer at whatever cost. Despite being denied citizenship by the apartheid government, he was still treated better than black people, and this bothered him.
