The SACP is deeply saddened by the news of the passing away of Cde Manto Tshabalala-Msimang.
Cde Manto has dedicated her life to the liberation struggle of all South Africans and served the South African government in various responsibilities post 1994. Her commitment and dedication to the liberation of the majority of South Africans will always be cherished. She left for exile at a young age to join the ANC in exile and performed her duties with distinction.
Cde Manto was a well known gender activist, dedicated to the course of liberation of women from patriarchy.
Our deepest condolences to Cde Mendi Msimang and the entire family, her friends and relatives, comrades in the ANC and the ANC WL.
Issued by the SACP.
