Read the full tribute writing on Pastor Washington's subtask here.
"Olga was a brilliant attorney who worked in corporate finance when she took on the work of DEISI ( Defend, Embrace, Invest in, Support Israel), compelled as her father was to speak out for Zion’s sake both as a devout Christian who knew her Bible and as a proud Black South African — as she would often say, a “Daughter of Africa.” Olga was also African royalty, literally a princess of the Tswana tribe. Many knew Olga as a gifted speaker, a meticulous organizer, and a passionate advocate. She was all of those things and much more."
