The South African Communist Party mours the passing away of Beyers Naude, a committed Christian, an uncompromising democrat and courageous Afrikaner.
His was a life of dedication to peace, democracy, non-racialism and justice for all.
Naude represented a moral reference point for all those who opposed the moral and religious basis of the apartheid system. As an Afrikaner who opposed apartheid, he was faced with isolation, exclusion and persecution from his own community and the apartheid establishment.
The SACP extends its condolences to the Naude family, colleagues, comrades and friends.
