Meanwhile, the bereaved family expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of condolences from the public.
Peko family spokeswoman Zandi Radebe said the family is grateful for the support they have received.
“We have lost Dr. Motuko Peko, a remarkable and gentle man, pan-Africanist and scholar. The family is grateful for the support they have received. At the same time, I humbly ask that you give me time to process the situation and come to terms with it,'' Radebe said.
“Dr Motsoko Peko joined the PAC in 1960, thus making him one of the founding members along with Mangaliso Sobukwe. His contribution was only during the apartheid period as a member of the Pan-Africanist National Congress. Dr. Motsoko Peko has published over 30 books. Ntate was a very kind and loving person,” she added.
