A long guard of honour on Tuesday afternoon welcomed the body of the late struggle stalwart Andrew Mlangeni as he entered the gates of his Dube, Soweto, house for the last time.
Modise said the current crop of ANC leaders had to be honest in assessing whether they have truly led lives that emulated that of Mlangeni.
“And that is what the great-grandchildren of Mlangeni can be firm on. They will always hear that June died straight, Andrew died straight. They have everything to live for and honour the name of Mlangeni.”said Mlangeni, along with those who fought for the freedom of the country, were selfless and went to prison to create a better future for those who would come after them.
“That’s what we, the young generation, must emulate. We must be able to make sure that the ANC is an organisation that people can love and respect,” said Mashatile. He said the generation of Mlangeni, Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, OR Tambo and their contemporaries did not fight for the end of apartheid for self-enrichment.
