Former International Relations Deputy Minister, Ebrahim Ebrahim.

Former International Relations Deputy Minister Ebrahim Ebrahim has died at the age of 84.

The ANC, Ebrahim’s political home, says in a statement that he passed away after a long illness, at his home in Johannesburg.

Ebrahim joined the anti-apartheid struggle in his teens and served 18 years in two spells on Robben Island where he shared a cell with former president Jacob Zuma.

Ebrahim also worked tirelessly on peace initiatives around the world.

The ANC says: “Comrade Ebi, as he was affectionately known, was a longstanding member of the ANC, a patriot who served his country in different capacities with humility, dedication and distinction.”
