He is the inspiration, the backbone and the steadfast leader with the promise for the Alternative governance and for the defence of the Constitution of South Africa. We, the youth of South Africa are proud of being associated with a cadre like him. In his words to his daughter while in prison he said; “Above all then, my dear, I am in prison for the sake of peace for our country and the world. I am in prison so that our generation may leave to yours and later generations a country and a world that has the greatest potential for progress." These are the words we find courage in, to continue in the same way and fight for our future and that of the next generation so they can a better life. We wish him many more years to come and hope that he will continue to serve and inspire South Africa and the world. Issued by: Bongani Mahlangu COPE YM Spokesperson 082 780 3523
