Durban - It was a sombre, socially distanced yet intimate send-off yesterday for the former surgeon-general of the armed forces and doctor to Nelson Mandela.
Ramlakan served in Umkhonto we Sizwe , the ANC’s military wing, during the liberation Struggle against the apartheid regime during the 1980s and was transferred to the SANDF when MK was incorporated into it in 1994. The obituary was given by another fellow Butterfly Unit comrade, Ricky Naidoo, who said he first met Ramlakan in the 1980s while they were studying.
