⁉️ Did you know that one the best known lawyers in South Africa, a man who has left an indelible mark on the pursuit of justice in South Africa was Greek?

Today, we remember the legendary George Bizos—human rights lawyer, anti-apartheid activist, and lifelong defender of justice.

From his daring escape from Nazi-occupied Greece to his pivotal role in defending Nelson Mandela during the Rivonia Trial, Bizos dedicated his life to the pursuit of human dignity and equality.

His legal brilliance saved lives, his courage helped dismantle apartheid, and his legacy continues to inspire generations fighting for justice.
