The South African Communist Party (SACP) joins the millions of our people in wishing a happy birthday to the former President of the African National Congress (ANC) and our country Comrade Nelson Mandela.
The SACP wishes to congratulate Comrade Nelson Mandela, a friend of the workers and the poor on his birthday. Madiba you have lived a life of selfless service to the downtrodden and the marginalised. Your courage inspired us all to fight for the liberation of our people. You continue to inspire our fight for a humane and a society without hunger and poverty.
We are joining other South Africans and other people globally who will be commemorating Madiba’s birthday. In him the SACP and the workers will always have a friend and a counsellor.
Tata we wish you a happy birthday and many more years to come
