It is they who made the sacrifices. In that spirit I want to recognise Vejay's three children ...
“On his passing let us remind all those in positions of power that the struggle cannot be over until we entrench good governance, eliminate corruption, achieve true nonracialism and non-sexism ...Defence minister Mapisa-Nqakula told mourners that she was yet to read Ramlakan's book “which talks a lot about him as the doctor to Tata Madiba”.Mapisa-Nqakula recalled how “tears were running down Vejay's face” when Mandela died.
