Tragedy strikes Jessie Duarte's family again as brother Igshaan Dangor dies
The ANC announced his death on Sunday. It comes just a month after their other brother and former Nelson Mandela Foundation CEO, Achmat Dangor, died aged 72.
In many ways, Dangor’s fiction represented the shifts that SA literature and culture underwent in the early days of the transition to democracy.
Dangor died on Sunday at the age of 71. He was instrumental in movements against Bantu education in the 1970s.
The foundation's current CEO Sello Hatang has described him as an extraordinary human being.
Several newspaper columns have criticised Mandela Day by saying it has been commercialised.
