The mark of the fallen cadres was also used to mark the 70 years of the Freedom Charter, delivered by the Deputy Minister of Police and ANC NEC member Cassel Mathale.

Amongst the attendees were the Peter Mokaba Regional leadership, some PEC members, ANC Women’s League, ANCYL, COSAS, and various stakeholders.

The fallen comrades bus, while en route to Mbombela Stadium in 2024, crashed on the R71 road ( Makgoebaskloof near Tzaneen). The ruling party was holding a 112th anniversary in Mpumalanga province.

The commemorative visits and paid to the families of the fallen:

• Setabola family
•  Makganyoga family
•  Rakubu family
• Mapfumo family
• Machaba family

It won’t be an ANC gathering without campaigns. Before, the key note address ascended to the pondium. A message of support by the ANCYL NEC member Douglas Ngobeni came with an endorsement and influence to the branches of the ANC

“We are going to be an ANCYL, which rises to the occasion when unemployment rises and which does not go around begging. We are to be an ANCYL that says young people want this, and young people get this. We want to lobby branches to go and convince members that John Mpe must become the ANC provincial Chairperson next year,” said Ngobeni

 The crowd seemed to agree with the endorsement by a show of hands and laughter, while the key speaker prepared his speech.

Mathale led the recognition ceremony and, by declaring that they are officially regarded as ” fallen cadres,” who died in the line of duty while serving the movement.

“The ANC bond with the families of the fallen 5 is permanent,” said Cassel Mathale

He stated that the movement will continue to reconnect with and support them.

“Their undying spirits will continue to guide the ANC,” said Mathale

Mathale emphasized that the ceremony served a dual purpose marking the 70th Anniversary of the Freedom Charter ( 1955_2025).

He linked the sacrifice of Molemole 5 to the struggle for the Charter’s ideals, specifically celebrating its key clauses.

Since the incident, the Peter Mokaba region has maintained a permanent relationship with grieving families by providing food vouchers and gifts to ensure dignified holiday periods for the survivors.

A Wreath-Laying Ceremony was held at the OR Tambo Memorial Site in Wattville, followed by a Memorial Lecture delivered by Deputy President Paul Mashatile, reflecting on Tambo’s enduring legacy and moral leadership.

Born on 27 October 1917, President Tambo is remembered for embodying the ideals of integrity, humility, unity, and principled struggle. As leader of the ANC in exile, he turned hardship into opportunity — rallying the global community against apartheid and keeping the movement united during its most difficult years.

In its statement, the ANC described Tambo as a moral compass whose life “remains an enduring testament that revolutions are sustained by discipline, not slogans; by truth, not expediency.”

The party reaffirmed its commitment to unity, ideological clarity, and renewal, echoing Tambo’s warning that “a nation that does not care for its youth has no future, and a movement that forgets its moral compass loses its soul.”

The ANC called on South Africans, particularly the youth, to draw inspiration from Tambo’s values and continue the fight against poverty, inequality, and injustice.

Long live the revolutionary spirit of Oliver Reginald Tambo!

The Mpumalanga High Court is today expected to deliver judgment in the high-stakes battle over the late former Deputy President David Mabuza’s R44-million pension payout.

The dispute pits multiple claimants against each other:

Nonhlanhla Mbisi, who argues she is Mabuza’s sole legal wife and rightful beneficiary.

Emunah Silinda, who maintains she has been Mabuza’s customary wife since 1999.

Several of Mabuza’s children are also seeking recognition as beneficiaries.

The ruling will determine who is entitled to inherit Mabuza’s multi-million-rand estate, a decision set to have both legal and political implications given his long-standing influence in South African politics.
