Anti-apartheid cleric Dr Allan Boesak honoured

The event took place at the eatery at Langverwacht Plein Shopping Mall, Kuils River, from 2pm until 4pm and was organised by Cape Word Weavers, a community group that promotes poetry and short-story writing.

Dr Boesak is a South African clergyman who was one of South Africa’s leading activists against apartheid. He was born in Kakamas in the Northern Cape, but currently lives in Observatory.

“We decided to organise this event as part of celebrating the life of one of our own — a man who stood up against the apartheid government,” said Samuel Theron, founder of Cape Word Weavers.
