The Acting Chairperson of the Commission for Gender Equality (CGE) on behalf of the commission sends his heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and relatives of the late Mama Albertina Sisulu.
The passing on of such an icon will solely be missed by those who had embraced her and those that she had embraced over the years. She was indeed a true legend of our society and a gender icon. Mama Sisulu was also a true heroine of our struggle, who despite having gone through trials and tribulations continued to fight for our freedom.
Even though many thought she will slow down and enjoy the fruits of her labour, she soldiered on by involving herself in various charity organisations. It is through heroines like her that today we have CGE, which has to ensure that whatever she fought for should not be in vain. As the commission, we mourn and henceforth celebrate the life well spent. Indeed, her passing away will surely be missed across the globe.
On behalf of the Commission for Gender Equality, we say your memory and what you laboured for will be missed.
Rest in Peace! Robala ka khotso! Lala ngo Xolo, Mama Sisulu!
