On behalf of the Democratic Alliance (DA), I would like to extend our deepest condolences to the United Independent Movement following the passing of its President Mr. Neil de Beer.
In Neil de Beer’s passing, South Africa has lost a powerful voice for change.
With his uncompromising and often confrontational style, he upset many, but he also spoke for many.
His convictions and fearless personality made him a force to be reckoned with and a valuable partner to the Multi-Party Charter. For his role in bringing the Charter about, the DA will remember him fondly.
Our condolences and prayers go out to his loved ones. In life, he was a man of restless energy. May he now find eternal rest.
