Pat Fahrenfort

About 
Pat Fahrenfort left school at age fifteen to work in a factory. Her personal determination led her to complete a university degree. She consistently involved  herself both in broader struggles for democracy in South Africa and localised struggles for equity and justice in her places of work. She joined the Constitutional Assembly to work on South Africa’s new Constitution, and worked alongside leading political figures before  and after taking up a position as deputy director in the Ministry of Labour.
