The late struggle stalwart Oliver Tambo was hailed as a true revolutionist and a patriot during the annual Oliver and Adelaide Tambo wreath-laying ceremony held at Tamboville Cemetery, Wattville, on October 27.
Community members in ANC regalia and a number of dignitaries, including the former mayor of Ekurhuleni Mzwandile Masina, Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi and the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture Nkosinathi Mthethwa, attended to celebrate and honour the Tambo’s legacy. Tambo’s children, Dali and Nomathemba Tambo were also in attendance.
“Is it united, or does the ANC live and lead? The generations that are now in power, are they honouring the mission to serve the people? Will the answers make them smile or break their hearts?” asked Dali. “Tambo’s generation was a super special golden leadership. We find solace and believe that Tambo has not died and whatever he believed in hasn’t and cannot die. He believed in non-racial South Africa, a true liberated South Africa and believed that there should not be anything that should harm the weak and vulnerable,” said Lesufi.
“He was not confused about the mandate that he got from the ANC and he executed it until the 1994 democratic breakthrough. His mandate of the four pillars was mobilisation, underground un-resistance and international isolation of the apartheid regime.
