President Cyril Ramaphosa has declared three days of national mourning for struggle stalwart Denis Goldberg who died on Thursday.
He was 87.
“In terms of this declaration, the National Flag is to fly at half-mast at every station in the country from today, Friday, 1 May 2020, to Monday, 4 May 2020, as a mark of respect and in observance of days of national mourning for Mr Goldberg,” the Presidency said in a statement on Friday.

Ramaphosa once again expressed his condolences over Goldberg’s death.
“At this time, we cannot say our goodbyes in person and in our numbers. May the silent prayers and gratitude of the people of South Africa carry his brave and patriotic soul to its final rest,” he said.
Goldberg was one of 10 people who faced charges of treason in 1963 after a raid on Liliesleaf Farm. He was found guilty on charges, including conspiracy and sabotage, during the infamous Rivonia Trial held at the Palace of Justice in Pretoria from October 1963 to June 1964.
The only living Rivonia Trialist is now Andrew Mlangeni.
