The remains of more struggle stalwarts who died in exile are heading home.
Cabinet said it had received an update on the preparations to repatriate the mortal remains of South African freedom fighters who were buried in Zimbabwe and Zambia.
Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni told a post-Cabinet briefing on Friday that among the remains to be repatriated to South Africa are those of struggle stalwarts advocate Duma Nokwe, Mama Florence Mophosho and Basil February, who all died in exile.
“The repatriation of the remains from Zambia and Zimbabwe forms part of the Resistance and Liberation Heritage Route Project (RLHR), which is a national memory project aimed at commemorating, celebrating, educating, promoting, preserving, conserving, and providing a durable testament of South Africa’s Road to freedom.”
She said that a homecoming ceremony would take place at the Waterkloof Airforce base on 27 September when the mortal remains arrived in South Africa.
