South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma has ordered that the national flag be flown at half-mast in honour of anti-apartheid stalwart Ahmed Kathrada, who has died aged 87 after failing to recover from brain surgery.
Mr Kathrada spent more than 26 years in prison for fighting apartheid.
In the latter part of his life, he became a fierce critic of Mr Zuma, calling on him to step down after he became mired in corruption scandals.
