He is survived by a wife, Louise Parkinson, and two sons, two brothers and a sister.

He served democratic South Africa for almost 14-years from 1994 until 2008. His cabinet portfolios included water affairs, forestry and education.

He was also Professor of Human Rights at the University of the Western Cape, chairman of the council of the University of the North and vice-president of the African Association of International Law.
