ANC no letters.jpg 9 December 2016 ANC Mourns Passing of Beata Lipman The African National Congress is saddened by the news of the passing on of Comrade Beata Lipman. A revolutionary democrat, accomplished author, film maker and maker of history, Beata Lipman was known for, amongst her many notable contributions, the scribing in hand of the Freedom Charter - South Africa's political lodestar and the ANC's primary programme of action. Together with her husband, Alan Lipman, Comrade Beata Lipman played a key role in the drafting of the Charter, which would later lay a solid foundation for the development of South Africa's Constitution. As we prepare to mark 20 years since the late ANC and South African President, Comrade Nelson Mandela, signed the Constitution into law, we remember with reverence the immeasurable sacrifices made by many, including Comrade Lipman, for us to enjoy the freedoms we do today. With no expectation of recognition or selfish reward, these heroes of our struggle shunned the privileges of their race, and were rather an embodiment of the values to which South Africa continues to aspire - a non-racial South Africa united in a common quest to build a society where all her people could live in conditions of equality, liberty and peace. The African National Congress extends its heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Comrade Beata Lipman. May they be comforted during this time of grief by the knowledge of the indelible mark her hand made to bring us closer to realising the dream of the Congress of the People in 1955.
