I posted about her when I wrote this post after reading Trevor's book, "Born a Crime" and being touched by the multigenerational perspective on life in South Africa, during and after apartheid.
Trevor waxes poetic about his gran - how much she had seen, how resilient she was, how remarkable, how precious - and how much she influenced Trevor's life, including the title of that book..
(There is a video of Trevor interviewing her in that previous post).
After a hard and hard-working life, without pay under apartheid, and several grandchildren and great-children, GoGo died peacefully in her sleep at the age of 95 - Trevor posted this tribute to her on Instagram.
Rest now in peace, remarkable lady, you've earned it - you did well :)
