THE funeral service for former Democratic Party leader Dr Zach de Beer was held in Cape Town on Monday afternoon. De Beer died of a stroke at his Clifton home last Thursday. De Beer’s son, also a medical doctor named Zach, said he had been scheduled to be in Scotland on Wednesday but is now going to vote DP for his father in the general election. The service was held in the chapel of Bishops in Rondebosch, the school which De Beer attended before studying medicine at the University of Cape Town.
