Tributes pour in for former human rights lawyer George Bizos

People’s Lawyer! Defender of the defenceless! More you have being hanged by the regime but you came to their rescue. With no guns but legal brains. You are a true son of the soil. Salute, Adv. George Bizos #RIPGeorgeBizos pic.twitter.com/qtUxXyIyAm

To think George Bizos came to SA, as a teenager, fleeing the Nazi occupation in Greece. Then he spent his life in SA fighting apartheid and other injustices. A life well lived, #RIPGeorgeBizos pic.twitter.com/UYcZ3BmAWS

The news of the passing of #GeorgeBizos is very sad for us as a country. An incisive legal mind and architect of our Constitution, he contributed immensely to our democracy. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and dip our heads in his honour. pic.twitter.com/yUCgNuvKDX
