The untimely death of the Deputy Secretary General of the Young Communist League (YCL), Mike Mokhutshane who reportedly died in his sleep over the past weekend has robbed South Africa and the North West Province of an incorruptible young revolutionary who was at the primTe of his youth, North West Premier Mme Thandi Modise said on Tuesday.
“We wish to convey our condolences to the Mokhutshane family, the YCL and the SACP. We are shocked as we had looked up to mature and principled cadres of the calibre of Comrade Mike Mokhutshane to contribute towards unity and to guide our youth during this turbulent times. His selfless contribution and dedication to serve will be sorely missed as his death has left a void within the YCL, the Progressive Youth Alliance and structures of the Mass Democratic Movement and our glorious movement, the African National Congress.”
Mokhutshane had served as the 4th Provincial Chairperson of South African Students Congress, General Secretary of the Student Representative Council at Vaal Technicon (Klerksdorp Campus), the first Provincial Secretary of YCL in the Province and a member of the National Youth Development Agency Board and ex-officio member of the Provincial Working Committee of the South African Communist Party.
He is to be buried in Agisanang Township outside Sannieshof this coming Saturday.
