*SACP Statement, 5 May 2012* *On the passing away of Cde Roy Padayachie*The SACP has learned with shock and deep sadness of the untimely passing away of Cde Roy Padayachie, the Minister of Public Service and Administration. The SACP wishes to express its most sincere condolences to his family, friends, comrades and Cabinet colleagues.
Comrade Roy has dedicated almost his entire life to serve our democratic movement and all South Africans with absolute commitment, when asked by the movement to do so in different capacities. His exemplary behaviour and commitment will continue to inspire generations of cadres to serve their people selflessly without any expectations of personal or material rewards for their service.
Cde Padayachie passed away like a true soldier, with his boots on, in the line of duty carrying out his responsibilities to create a better Africa and carrying out the international tasks of our democratic government and movement. In his memory we must carry the spear and use our presence in government and in the state to better the lives of our people.
The SACP will sorely miss Cde Padayachie's sharp intellect and capacity for strategic thinking. He had an incisive and analytical mind, and ability to analyse problems and challenges in a holistic, yet principled manner. It was these capacities and commitments that cde Padayachie had served our movement in various capacities -- as a leader of the mass democratic movement in KZN in the 1980s, as an activist in the early childhood development terrain, in the National Education Co-ordinating Committee, in the mobilization of the Indian communities behind the struggle for democracy, and in the areas of communications and public administration.
The SACP, at this moment of difficulty, wishes to pass its condolences to the family, friends and colleagues in the movement and government. Comrade Roy, you have done your revolutionary part /qabane/ and may your undying revolutionary fighting spirit live on and inspire our cadres to take forward the torch of the National Democratic Revolution to create a better and socialist South Africa. Long live the memory of comrade Roy, long live!
