JOHANNESBURG – The family of the assistant secretary general of the African National Congress (ANC), Jessie Duarte, received another devastating blow as her brother Igshaan Dangor died of complications related to COVID-19.
The ANC announced his death on Sunday. It comes just a month after his other brother and former executive director of the Nelson Mandela Foundation, Achmat Dangor, died at 72.
Igshaan Dangor served in the democratic dispensation and during apartheid, he went into exile in 1984 to join the ranks of Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK). Dangor returned from exile in 1990 after the removal of the ANC ban and immediately joined the ANC Riverlea branch to help strengthen and build ANC structures throughout Gauteng.
“Igshaan Dangor’s contribution to the liberation struggle, as well as the reconstruction and development of our country, will remain indelible in the memory of all freedom-loving peoples of South Africa,” the party said.
“The ANC conveys its condolences to the Dangor family, the mass democratic movement and the people of South Africa as a whole. We hope they find strength and comfort in knowing that the entire country shares their pain.
