Malume Kathy; Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un - Kamrad Ahmed Kathrada
We belong to God and to Him we shall return Comrade Ahmed Kathrada Comrade Ahmed Kathrada Isithwalandwe/ Seaparankoe Comrade Ahmed Kathrada Umgwenya Comrade Ahmed Kathrada The Commissar Comrade Ahmed Kathrada The Internationalist Comrade Ahmed Kathrada Category C member Allow us as now orphaned again to say our parting and sorrowful words to our beloved humble leader. It would seem fate has the upper hand and that the revolution is becoming more and more fatherless with your absence together with members of your generation, Umgwenya; The Luthuli Detachment. As children of the Revolution how must we live without your presence given the revolutionary hollowness we are left with from your departure? Your sense of purpose will last a life time in the South African Revolution the NDR. When there are many today that have abandoned the revolutionary line. You have remained steadfast and a loyal member of the African National Congress and the Congress Movement. Looking back we wonder how many would know that you initiated and brought political material in Limpopo with Comrade Magunyana and Comrade Mashamba. And setting up the political education unit and laying a solid base for a Provincial Commissariat there and the political school for the establishment of ANC structure in the province after the unbanning. So too how many would dare write about your role in the struggle for non-racism within the Indian Congress, the Congress Alliance as well as the integration of both the then Natal and Transvaal Indian Congress into the brand Mass Democratic Movement structures under the leadership of the African National Congress? Historians and many will write and tell us about your arrest and the treason trial and rightly so. But how many actually will write and document your prison notes and writings on the the Arabic Revolution and the Internationalist Struggle? The struggle for peoples of Algeria, Egypt, the Saharawi right to self determination well as your Swazi struggle contribution? The last lesson we learned from you was it does not mean if you differ with a comrade it therefore means you hate them. And this is one lesson that we shall never forget and take to our hearts. Therefore allow us again to say; Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un - Kamrad Ahmed Kathrada. Lala ngoxolo Baba. Lalangoxolo Muntu Omdala, Alwenlanga Lungehlanga.
