The Democratic Alliance has today paid tribute to South African author and academic Professor Andre P Brink.

Professor Brink died at the age of 79-years-old while onboard a flight from the Netherlands to Cape Town on Friday night. 

DA National Spokesperson Marius Redelinghuys said Brink was one of the key figures in the significant Afrikaans literary movement known as Die Sestigers. 

Redelinghuys said Professor Brink will be remembered for his contribution to the fight against Apartheid and for highlighting contemporary social issues in democratic South Africa through his writing.
