THE ANC IS SADDENED BY THE DEATH OF HEIDI HOLLAND
The African National Congress (ANC) is saddened by the death of Heidi
Holland, a renowned journalist who freelanced for the Star newspaper and an
author.
Heidi’s body was discovered in her Melville resident on Saturday, the
11thof August 2012. She was 64 years old.
Heidi wrote several books including the ANC book, titled: The struggle: A
history of the African National Congress. She also wrote a book about the
life and career of the President of Zimbabwe, President Robert Mugabe,
titled: Dinner with Mugabe.
Heidi worked and contributed to a number of local and international
publications.
Her death has indeed robbed this country of a philanthropist of note.
Certainly,
her death will leave a void in the journalism vocation and in the creative
writing space in general.
The ANC sends its condolences to the Holland family, friends and the media
fraternity.
Heidi is survived by her two sons, Jonah and Nick, daughter-in-law Nicky,
her grandson Hugo, her mother and her siblings.
May her soul rest in peace

Note they got the title of the ANC book wrong. Slightly reminds me of Eddie Izzard's parody of the Queen being shoved out on the Buck Palace balcony ages after Diana died....
