Praises from around the world are rolling in for Dr Naledi Pandor as she steps down from her position as minister of international relations and co-operation after serving as a Member of Parliament (MP) since 1994.
However, the most heartfelt tribute has come from her daughter, Aisha Pandor, the co-founder and chief executive of SweepSouth, which became the first South African startup to be accepted into the prestigious 500 Startups accelerator based in Silicon Valley in San Francisco.
Aisha spoke proudly of her mother and her life-long role as an activist on social media on Monday.
My mom has been an ANC member and activist for all of my life. I share a birthday with the ANC, and for most of my life, I proudly spent Jan 8th with other family or friends, while my parents served the party.
She went on to say how much her mother has inspired her through the years.
