African National Congress (ANC) President Cyril Ramaphosa has described the late former party President and freedom fighter, Oliver Reginald Tambo as a glue that continues to bind the ANC together.
He says if it were not for the dedication shown by the likes of Tambo, who spent years in exile, South Africa may not have realised its democracy in 1994.
Leading the ceremony, President Ramaphosa said: “He understood that no matter the difficulties of the moment, he was to be the glue that would bind our movement together. And did he become the glue? He was the real glue. The glue that bound together the members of the ANC who had left and been scattered around the world and those who had remained, he bound us all together and became the real glue.
“It is only if we are united as the ANC, as the alliance and as a country that we will be able to overcome the many challenges that our people are facing today. Despite the advent we have made since the dawn of democracy – millions of our people are still faced with poverty, unemployment and inequality.”Unity within ANC, alliance partners
