NATIONAL NEWS - Higher Education, Science and Innovation Minister, Dr Blade Nzimande, has expressed sadness at the passing of education activist, Graeme Bloch.
Bloch passed away last week Friday at Constantiaberg Hospital in Cape Town.
He succumbed to an uncommon brain disorder affecting movement and control of walking, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), seven years after his diagnosis.
Paying tribute, Nzimande said Bloch was a struggle hero, educationist, and activist.
“He had an illustrious political career and extensively fought against apartheid during his days as a student activist at the University of Cape Town. He fought alongside the poor, the working class and the disenfranchised, among others, challenging the apartheid authorities on their discriminatory education system.
