My partner, Megan Davies, who has died aged 67, was for many years Cardiff’s highly regarded branch secretary of the Society of Telecom Executives, now part of the Prospect union.

She was a lifelong socialist, a supporter of Socialist Worker and, until her recent ill health, was a regular at Palestine, anti-war and anti-racist protests. At her funeral Cor Cochion, a socialist choir, gave a passionate rendition of Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika, the South African national anthem. She used to sing it with Jen O’Keefe, her vocalist partner, at the Blue Dragon folk club and Frank Hennessey’s folk club at BBC Cardiff.
