ANC on the passing of Nelson Mandela

By

The African National Congress Nelson Mandela Region expresses its sadness at the passing away of uTata Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, Isithwalandwe, Nobel Peace Laureate, first President of a free South Africa, world icon of non-racial activism, sacrifice, fortitude, peace and reconciliation.

In honour of Madiba, after whom our city and regional structure are named, the ANC will be hosting the following activities, to which we encourage all to attend:

  • 12h00: Inter-Faith Prayer Service at Nangoza Jebe Hall
  • 17h00: Prayer Services at Port Elizabeth City Hall, Uitenhage Town Hall, Despatch Town Hall, Daku Hall and Raymond Mhlaba Indoor Sports Centre.

In the true spirit of ubuntu as espoused by the life of uTata Madiba, we encourage everyone to attend.

In honour of the legacy of uTata Madiba, we ask all residents to grieve uTata’s passing with dignity, respect and reverence.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
