As South Africans head towards the halfway mark of the national lockdown, they should draw on the example of slain freedom fighter Solomon Mahlangu.
“Young people of today must carry forward the same kind of courage as the generation of Solomon Mahlangu, so that collectively together we can safeguard our country, and stand and say we have managed to develop a country we can still call home, even under conditions of a crisis — the same way we did when we were fighting the apartheid machinery,” he said.
Echoing Mabe's sentiments, the party said Mahlangu's isolation could serve as inspiration to those stuck at home because of the pandemic. PAC spokesperson Jackie Seroke also spoke highly of Mahlangu. “Solomon Mahlangu and all other freedom fighters are people we should be proud of,” he said.
