Breytenbach died on 24 November 2024 in Paris, France, after a battle against cancer. He lived there with his wife, Yolande. Sunday’s event was attended by Yolande, his daughter Daphnée, friends, family, local artists, actors, academics, people from the literary circles, and Breytenbach admirers. The Breytenbach Centre was once the writer’s family house. The choir of Hugenote High School in Wellington, where Breytenbach once was the head boy, performed during the pre-programme. The choir sang – among other songs – a composition of his well-known poem, “Ek sal sterf en na my vader gaan”. It was especially composed for the choir by Anton Esterhuyse.
