“Bhengu was a loyal member of the PAC and had been in and out of jail for his political activities,” said party spokesperson Lehlohonolo Shale in a statement.
He said that Bhengu — also the eldest brother of internationally celebrated poet Don Mattera — died on Sunday morning at a Soweto hospice after liver complications.
Shale said that Bhengu, who was born on November 8 1934, was affectionately known as “Bra Sanza”.
He will be buried on Friday in Soweto.
