The South African Communist Party (SACP) will on Monday commemorate the 30th anniversary of the passing of struggle stalwart comrade Joe Slovo at Avalon Cemetery in Soweto and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) is urging its members to take part in the remembrance event.
Slovo, a prominent anti-apartheid leader and the first General Secretary of the SACP after its unbanning in 1990, is celebrated for his contributions to the liberation struggle against apartheid.
The NUM urged its members to attend and participate in the SACP 30th annual remembrance of Slovo, saying it is continuing to recognise and honour the “unparalleled contributions” he made to the liberation of South Africa.
It noted that Slovo was instrumental and a central figure in dismantling the oppressive apartheid system and said its members should attend the event to respect the fallen hero.
