The Democratic Alliance (DA) expresses its deepest condolences to the friends and family of world-renowned playwright, Athol Fugard.
Lauded as the greatest active playwright in the English-speaking world by Time magazine in 1989, his works, including classics such as Master Harold … and the Boys, The Road to Mecca, and Tsotsi (later adapted into an Oscar-winning film) challenged injustice and battled prejudice, and continue to receive acclaim both at home and around the world.
Fugard’s profound contributions to South African theatre and the struggle for freedom will reverberate through generations.
The DA extends its most heartfelt condolences to Fugard’s family and those closest to him, as South Africans mourn the passing of a literary giant.
Issued by Joe McGluwa - DA Spokesperson on Sport, Arts and Culture
