Zuma hails ANC stalwart

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Anti-apartheid activist Job Tabane remains an inspiration for the African National Congress (ANC) today, said the party’s President Jacob Zuma on Saturday.

“We need more comrades to emulate Comrade Tabane for his discipline, his love for the organisation and his dedication to the goals of our national democratic revolution,” said Zuma at the reburial of Tabane – known as Cassius Maake by ANC cadres – in Rustenburg.

“For him leadership was not a privilege but a duty and service to his people.”

Following his example, would help restore “order and sanity” in the movement, said Zuma.

The remains of Tabane who was assassinated 21-years ago were brought from Zambia to be re-buried in Rustenburg.

Tabane was born on December 6, 1942, in the village of Maile (Diepkuil) outside Rustenburg.

He skipped the country in 1964 through Botswana to join the liberation movement in exile. He was killed together with his comrade, Peter Sello Motau, in Swaziland on the July 9, 1987.

Zuma said when Tabane had laid down his life it was because he loved South Africa so much.

“When Comrade Cassius Maake laid down his life it was because he loved this country and its people such that he devoted his life to its liberation.

“Many of us who were his peers joined the struggle knowing very well that death in the hands of the enemy’s brutal forces was a certainty.”

Zuma said as the movement faced “challenges and attacks from many quarters”, it should hang onto the memory of fallen cadres like Tabane.

“We owe it to the memory of our stalwarts, veterans and fallen heroes to ensure that we keep our ears to the ground and help the movement to deal with problems that may cause instability in our country.

For example the fact that xenophobic attacks were stopped before they escalated into “ugly full-scale urban unrest” was indicative of the “solid foundations of our revolution”, he said. – Sapa
