*YCLSA Northern Cape* * *
September 19, 2012 *YCLSA Western Cape statement on the passing away of Cde Mike Mokhutshane* * * The Young Communist League in the Northern Cape has learnt with deepest sadness and a sense of loss about the untimely death of the National Deputy Secretary of the YCLSA Cde Mike Mokhutshane. The 3rd Congress Provincial Executive Committee of the YCLSA in the Province joins the entire membership of the YCLSA and SACP in the country in mourning the untimely parting of our class brother, friend, fellow fighter and a comrade. As we mourn the death of this polite but magnanimous fighter we should take some consolation in celebrating a short-life well-lived. Comrade Mike departs early than anticipated but having left a significant mark in the struggle against super-exploitation of the working class, national oppression and gender subjugation. We have indeed lost a young communist, a revolutionary activist imbued with revolutionary values and morals. As the YCL in the Northern Cape we commit ourselves to honour comrade Mike and continue building on his unquestionable and indisputable legacy. We would like to take this opportunity to send our deepest and heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and comrades who have to learn of a loss of this working class fighter and fierce opponent of capitalism in all its forms. As a young communist who led in many different capacities, comrade Mike knew the importance and durability of the Progressive Youth Alliance (PYA) and always worked to ensure that the PYA components are organizationally and politically solid in the advancement of our revolutionary project as led by the revolutionary alliance but beyond all ensured that there is revolutionary unity and consistency amongst the PYA and alliance components. This is an immeasurable loss which we all have to go through because of our connection to him in one way or the other and the gap left by the departure of this colossal personality will continue to be felt as we interpret his undoubted contribution towards a just and better world. We again want to pass our heartfelt condolences to his family, the Young Communist League and all who are grieving as a result of a sudden departure of this great revolutionary. As you said in our last meeting good bye comrades, please allow us to; say go well and rest in peace. ISSUED BY THE YCLSA NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE -- You are subscribed. This footer can help you.
