We were saddened to hear yesterday of the death of a stalwart in the disability sector and an honourary member of the Western Cape Network on Disability – our dear Bridget van der Merwe.

Bridget played an integral part in  getting the Western Cape Network on Disability established 27 years ago.

The Western Cape Network on Disability and Dial-A-Ride would not have come into being without her (Jeremy Opperman said)

A giant has fallen. Founding  member of the Western Cape Network on Disability and so much more. Rest peacefully (said Anthony Ghillino)

Rest well our dear disability warrior.
