Pretoria - President Jacob Zuma has extended condolences to the family and friends of Professor Bernard Magubane, who passed away at his home in Johannesburg on Friday.
"The country has lost one of its best historians and an outstanding academic. I would like to convey our deepest words of condolence to his family, his friends and the academic community at large. May his soul rest in peace," said President Zuma.
A prominent member of the African National Congress (ANC), Magubane spent his years in exile and was involved with various members, including Oliver Tambo, where he played a vital role in the struggle against apartheid.
In 1999, he was honoured by former President Nelson Mandela for his contributions to social science. - SAnews.gov.za
