Deputy President Paul Mashatile says that South Africa must invest in documenting the lives of its heroes in order to appreciate how much the country has achieved.
Mashatile gives mourners insight into his 40-year-long relationship with Tiego Moseneke including their incarceration at the infamous Sun City Prison for their political activities.
“We are committing to doing everything in our power to chronicle the lives of those who have contributed to the struggle for generations to come, the profound words of wisdom that Tiego left us with suggestions that we must change the narrative about who we are as people. Tiego reminded us that we are victors and in us, greater spirits live, and nothing can defeat us as people if we continue to work together,” explains Mashatile.
“One of the most significant things about him was his ability to interact with people from all walks of life rich or poor, Moseneke always reached out and made time that depiction is apt and very much on point, it is a fitting description of who he was and epitomises what he stood for. Tiego connected to caddies, waitrons, security guards, magents industry captains and politicians with the same level of respect and vim and verve,” says Motuba.
