“His passing sounds the last post on a courageous generation of South Africans who forfeited their freedom, careers, family lives and health so that we could all be free.'

The DA referred to Mlangeni’s departure as an end of a particular chapter of the country’s history.

“Mlangeni was a firm believer in the power of education to unlock people’s aspirations, and even managed to study towards his own BA degree while incarcerated on Robben Island. He also abhorred the corruption…,” said DA leader John Steenhuisen.“He lived to see this dream attained and recognised that there was still more work to be done,” said Makhubo.

“To his family, and particular his son Sello, his friends, and the African National Congress, our deepest condolences. He will live on in our memories.”
