The EFF in the Western Cape joined many around South Africa in honouring the memory of liberation icon WinnieMadikizelaMandela who died a year ago.
Johannesburg - The Economic Freedom Fighters in the Western Cape on Tuesday joined many around South Africa in honouring the memory of liberation icon Winnie Madikizela-Mandela who died a year ago Tuesday.
"We lost a mother, an activist and a real freedom fighter, and were denied a real President post-1994. Mama Winnie's contribution to the emancipation of South Africa from the murderous apartheid regime still remains unmatched. So was her unwavering spirit and vigour as she stood firm against patriarchy and erasure from her own Comrades and political home," said EFF provincial chairperson Melikhaya Xego.
Xego said the party reiterates the EFF's call for Cape Town International Airport to be renamed after Madikizela Mandela, widely regarded as the "mother of the nation". He said Mama Winnie sacrificed her life in the quest for the liberation of the country and had earned her stripes locally and internationally, adding tha sking for an airport to be named after her was putting gratitude to her into action.
