Former apartheid struggle stalwart, Rivonia trial defence lawyer and human rights lawyer George Bizos has died at the age of 92.

George bizos’ son, Damon, said the family will always treasure the memories they had of his father as they celebrate his extraordinary legacy.
He passed away surrounded by family.
