press release

Last night on the 2nd June 2011, the SACP received with sadness the news of the passing away of the second recipient, after Nelson Mandela, of the SACP highest honour the Chris Hani Peace Award, uMama Albertina Sisulu, a great revolutionary and patriot of our people. Our deepest condolences to the family, relatives, comrades and friends.

A stalwart of our revolution is no more. A mother, a grandmother, a leader of the UDF and FEDSAW and a mentor to thousand of younger generations is no more. What she has left behind for us is a legacy to cherish and to honour in action.
