President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier on Friday announced that the 90-year-old founding Speaker of Parliament following South Africa’s first democratic elections in 1994 passed away on Thursday night at her home after suffering a stroke two weeks ago.
“Frene was a fiercely independent-minded woman, who would never sacrifice her principles on the altar of political expediency. She provided Casac with staunch support, and on a personal level, I was very fortunate to benefit from her mentorship over many decades. South Africa has lost one of its greatest champions for justice and constitutional accountability,” he added.
Ramaphosa paid tribute to the ANC struggle icon for “her establishment of our democratic Parliament, which exercised the task of undoing decades-old apartheid legislation and fashioning the legislative foundations of a free and democratic South Africa”. Naidoo, in his statement, however, said Ginwala was displeased that critical pillars of Parliament have been compromised over the years.
