The body of struggle stalwart Andrew Mlangeni will be collected by his family and high-ranking ANC officials on Tuesday afternoon.
In a statement, the ANC said its treasurer-general, Paul Mashatile, would officiate the draping of the coffin in ANC colours together with Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Association representatives in honour of Mlangeni as one of the founding members of Umkhonto we Sizwe. “The body of Ntate Mlangeni will lie in state at the house overnight. There will be family viewing at home, followed by a brief prayer service.”Mabe said the service would include the handing over of the ANC flag, by Mashatile, to the Mlangeni family, which was “consistent with the tradition of the movement as a gesture of gratitude and in honour of Ntate Mlangeni’s unbroken years of service to the ANC”.This means that the national flag will fly at half-mast until Mlangeni is buried.
According to South African History Online, on his return in 1963, Mlangeni was arrested after state witnesses told the court that he was one of the people responsible for recruiting and training an armed force.
