The Justice Project South Africa Chairperson, Howard Dembovsky, has passed away.

He died in his sleep on Friday after having suffered a stroke a little more than a week ago.

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) says Dembovsky’s death has left a vacuum in the transport sector.

OUTA chairperson, Wayne Duvenage, says they are devastated as Dembovsky was also in the forefront of various issues of injustice in the industry.

“He was a stalwart and positive contributor in the fight against e-toll matter and law road traffic enforcement, ensuring the authorities go about producing AARTO and other legislations in the correct manner so that our roads and road safety issues are managed in a proper manner. A really good person who has fought really hard on road safety matters,” adds Duvenage.

Dembovsky founded the non-profit JPSA in 2008. The organisation is pushing for the transformation of the country’s traffic law as well as root out malfeasance in law enforcement.

Some South Africans have taken to social media to pay tribute to him.
