Breaking news – Russel Botman dead

The University of Stellenbosch confirms, on twitter, that its Rector, Russel Botman, is dead.
We confirm that @RusselBotman passed away in his sleep, at his home, last night.
Russel Botman was at one stage President of the South African Council of Churches. It is a major loss for the ecumenical movement in South Africa, his own church, the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa, the University of Stellensbosch and of course for his family.

Requiescat in pace!
