Gavin Watson, a white anti-apartheid activist, has passed away in a tragic car accident. Watson and his brothers associated themselves with the liberation struggle from a young age, fighting against apartheid. As a white male in apartheid South Africa, Watson chose to actively pursue the ideals of a free, democratic, and non-racial country. Watson played a significant role in supporting activists fleeing persecution through his family businesses. Even after the end of apartheid, Watson remained committed to supporting the ANC through his charity work in disadvantaged communities. The ANC expresses its condolences to Watson's family and comrades on his passing.
