Pope Francis Described As An Advocate For Justice And Equality

As an outpouring of messages continues following the passing of Pope Francis , some South African political parties have also sent their messages of support and condolences to those of the Catholic and Christian faith across the world.

An advocate for justice and equality, a unifier and an exemplary man of faith are just some of the words that are used to describe the late Pope Francis.

The Vatican confirmed the Popes death at the age of 88 on Monday morning.
