Tributes continue to pour in for veteran journalist and broadcaster Karima Brown.
Brown passed away on Thursday from COVID-19 complications.
She had been in hospital on a ventilator for a few weeks fighting the virus which has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives across the globe.
In a statement, Karima’s family says she was not just a prolific and well-known South African journalist and commentator with deep footprints in print and broadcast media, but also a well loved friend, mother, colleague and confidant to countless people.
“We are enormously proud of the fierce determination she had shown, since her early years, to get involved in bringing about a more just, inclusive and anti-racist South Africa. This determination also shaped her fearless approach to journalism.”
Karima’s family says she will be laid to rest in a burial ceremony which will be held in accordance with Islamic rites and traditions, adding an announcement will be made about a more public memorial service in honor of her life.
