In accordance with lockdown regulations, the funeral service is expected to be attended by only 50 people and would be broadcast on several platforms.
Bizos, who only retired at the age of 90, represented both Walter Sisulu and Nelson Mandela in the treason and Rivonia trials.
During the height of apartheid, he dedicated his professional career to the fight for human rights.
He insisted that Mandela include the phrase “if needs be” in the former statesman's statement during his sentencing during the Rivonia trial: “It is an ideal which I hope to live for, and see realised. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”
It is widely believed this saved Mandela from the death sentence.
Bizos is survived by his three sons and seven grandchildren.
