2 April 2009
The General Secretary of the SACP, Cde Blade Nzimande, will visit the North West to kick start the SACP’s Chris Hani Election Trail under the slogan, ‘Do it For Chris – Vote ANC!’.
Since the assassination of our late General Secretary, Cde Martin Thembisile `Chris` Hani on 10 April 1993, the SACP declared April the `Chris Hani Month` in honour and memory of this gallant son of the soil and a communist till the end. But this 16th anniversary is of particular significance.
We are commemorating the 16th anniversary of this dastardly act during the year in which we will be holding our fourth democratic elections since the historic 1994 democratic breakthrough. This is significant in that it was in the wake of his assassination that the stalemate in the negotiations was broken and the hand of the regime was forced to agree to set 27 April 1994 as the date of the first democratic elections. So it is even more appropriate that we dedicate the movement`s electoral effort to the memory of this hero.
