“Comrade Geoff was a peaceful person. He would not like to see Joburg burning like it is now. Actually, if he was still alive he would be on the ground engaging with our communities.
“Our comrade Geoff was ever-jovial. He was studious and indeed a disciplined cadre of our movement. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he took me under his wing. He helped me to integrate into the structures of the ANCYL in Johannesburg.
Diko said though it was common for male counterparts to get praised for doing a bare minimum, advocating for women empowerments, Makhubo did this effortlessly. “I've also seen the same determination and fortitude that he advances on his posture to women in the executive that he served in the city, on the boards of the many institutions that he has led, as well as the responsibilities that he has given to women and young women across many endeavours. This inclusive approach to leadership was a hallmark of Comrade Geoff,” said Diko.
