JOHANNESBURG – The deputy chairperson of the African National Congress in Gauteng, Panyaza Lesufi, on Wednesday warned that the freedom that anti-apartheid stalwart Andrew Mlangeni fought for could l
ose its character if the governing party failed to self-correct.
“It would be disingenuous not to state the fact that the freedom you fought for may lose its character if we can’t act,” Lesufi said. “The struggle you waged may tend to be something if we don’t self-correct. The sacrifices that you made, if nothing drastic is done, may be fruitless.” “Never in the history of our struggle have our people doubted us. Never in the history of our struggle that our people in their numbers are unhappy with the behaviour and conduct of some of our freedom fighters.
In honour of Mlangeni – who was the last remaining Rivonia Trialists and had spent 26 years on Robben Island – Lesufi said that the ANC as a liberation movement needed to be renewed and dedicated to serving the interests of South Africans.
