ANC saddened by passing of veteran Achmat Semaar

"Comrade Semaar, 72, was distinguished as a cadre of the movement who dedicated his entire life to the struggle of the people," said ANC acting national spokesperson Dakota Legoete."He joined the struggle at an early age and was active in various structures of the ANC underground, Mass Democratic Movement and the United Democratic Front."

"This is a giant who never, at any stage, compromised the principles and ideals of the Mass Democratic Movement." His daughter, journalist and broadcaster Karima Brown, said: “My father was an activist all his life. He was always involved with ordinary people. He was a father to many and was incredible. If he did not work for the ANC he would have died."

"We will miss his good humour and constant readiness to get down to work. He braved death and sacrificed the comfort of family life in pursuit of the freedom of all South Africans. Cde Semaar served as a Provincial Constituency Office Administrator in Mitchell’s Plain."

PieterDuToit ...and the police did what at the launch to stop the thugs? PieterDuToit Is this also the ThumaMina of 'New Dawn '...... ? Or the same 'Old Dusk ' from the Bunker of ROT.....?

Elections2019 MzansiVotes MYANC CyrilRamaphosa I could have told you that for free. MYANC CyrilRamaphosa Nimtshele uyanya loyo Liel Patel MYANC CyrilRamaphosa But Cyril Ramaphosa is not contesting elections against Jacob Zuma! This poll is irrelevant and mischievous. JZ got 65% in 2009 (same as Mandela in 1994), and 62% in 2014... all overwhelming majority by RSA standards. Can’t we get polls that tell us how to get more youth to vote?
