*(**ZINASU MEDIA RELEASE**) 09 April 2010* *ZINASU joins the world in celebrating the anniversary on the death of Cde Chris Tembisile Hani* Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU) on behalf of all students in Zimbabwe would like to join the A.N.C., the South African Communist Party (S.A.C.P.), the South African people and the whole world in commemorating the 17th anniversary marking the death of one of Africa’s greatest loyal and revolutionary luminaries Cde Chris Tembisile Hani. The fierce fighter in the South African people’s struggle against the heinous apartheid regime, was killed on the 10th of April 1993 in Dawn Park, Johannesburg by a conspiracy of a rapacious clique of white supremacist gangsters who wanted to block the road towards a just society and majority rule in South Africa. ZINASU President on behalf of the students of Zimbabwe wishes to salute the unwavering, revolutionary, steadfast commitment and heartfelt sacrifice of Cde Hani to freeing the people of South African from the jaws of all forms of injustice and discrimination and his early efforts in championing the spread of democracy and good governance in South Africa and Africa par-excellence. ZINASU comments the tremendous work that Cde Hani played as the Chief of Staff of ANC’s armed wing, Umkonto weSizwe, and as the Secretary General of the South African Communist Party in efforts to bring about the fall of the notorious apartheid regime in South Africa. His views of a vibrant and revolutionary youth, epitomized during his youthful stint with the ANC while studying at Fort Hare, continue to inspire the students’ struggles for academic freedoms, democracy and just society in Zimbabwe. Indeed the students’ movement is indebted to Cde Hani’s as a fearless democrat who fought for the common man, good values and the kind of society that South Africa is today. While celebrating Cde Hani’s achievements, ZINASU takes this opportunity to remind the inclusive government to address the challenges of restrictive tuition fees, accommodation crisis, brutality, the violation of students’ rights and the multifaceted crisis in this country. Lastly on behalf of the Union, the President salutes other cadres who sacrificed selflessly alongside Cde Hani for the same cause, such as Cde Govan Mbeki, Steve Biko, among others and those who have continued with Cde Hani’s struggle for a just African society, such as Cde Nelson Mandela, Cde Tokyo Soswale, Cde Thabo Mbeki, Cde Jacob Zuma, Cde Nzimande, Cde Vavi among others. ZINASU together with the 21st Century generation of youth leaders in Africa and the world will continue to prosper and benefit from his wisdom and resilient fighting spirit For and on behalf of ZINASU Tafadzwa Tuboy Mugwadi ZINASU National President +263 913 965 419 mugwadit @yahoo.com -- You are subscribed.
