President Zuma Saddened by Passing of Freedom Charter Architect

 

 

President Jacob Zuma has expressed deep sadness and conveyed his heartfelt
condolences on the passing of one of the architects of the Freedom Charter
and struggle veteran, Ms Beata Lipman who passed away on Thursday, 08
December 2016.

 

"It is always saddening to lose such a principled and esteemed freedom
fighter and struggle veteran like Ms Lipman who was at the forefront during
the 1955 congress of the people which drafted the Freedom Charter, the
foundation for our democratic constitution. We wish to convey our heartfelt
condolences to her family and relatives. May her soul rest in peace," said
President Zuma.

 

President Zuma said Ms Lipman, working alongside her late anti-apartheid
activist husband Mr Alan Lipman, will forever be remembered for her sterling
work in 1955 where she collated information during the congress and drafted
the original Freedom Charter in her own handwriting.
