Daryl Burman, a champion of justice and women’s rights, has passed away at 88, leaving behind a legacy of integrity, mentorship and transformation in the legal community.
It was on a dance floor in Cape Town in the 1960s that a young Daryl Burman met Olga, then a theatre nurse at Groote Schuur Hospital.
From that first dance – the young man who would go on to become a tower of the Gqeberha legal fraternity – knew Olga was destined to be his wife. What he didn’t know was how together they would create a haven that has become a beacon of hope for vulnerable women in Nelson Mandela Bay.
