Poqo, thank you for the communique. Two points I would like to correct though: (i) President was our party's president, not their and, (ii). President Mothopeng passed away in 1990 not 1993.

The party’s Eastern Cape publicity secretary, Mlindeli ka Majama, said the event coincided with the birthday of their late president, Zephaniah Mothopeng, who died in 1993 shortly after he was released from prison. “This is something that we as the party had always wanted to do, to remember and honour our leaders, and now we are able to do that. “Uncle Zeph, or the Lion of Azania as he was affectionately called by his comrades in the underground movement, is one of the people that played a very vital role in the freedom that we enjoy as a country today,” he said. Although the party’s president, Thami ka Plaatjie, was scheduled to give the keynote address, he could not attend due to a family death. Ka Majama said the few people who attended made the event successful. “We were very pleased with the attendance considering that we are a new party and it was our first time to host such an important event with our former president, Clarence Makwetu, present,” he said. The celebration included laying wreaths at the graves of struggle heroes Steve Biko and human rights lawyer Griffiths Mxenge . - By SIBONGILE MKANI — sibongi...@dispatch.co.za Copy and paste on the link below to see the original article. http://www.dispatch.co.za/article.aspx?id=351352 Confusion --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Sending your posting to payco@googlegroups.com Unsubscribe by sending an email to payco-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com You can also visit http://groups.google.com/group/payco Visit our website at www.mayihlome.wordpress.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
