The South African Communist in the Northern Cape, together with its entire membership has learnt of the untimely passing of Comrade Sechaba Aloys Cosmos commonly known as Comrade "Charles Setsubi", on the early hours of Monday 12th March 2018. Comrade Charles, was a full time Central Committee and Political Bureau Member of our Party at the time of his passing.
He played a critical role as an MK Combatant, a SACP Commissar and an ANC activist in waging a relentless struggle against apartheid alongside many other martyrs and heroes both sung and unsung. He dedicated his entire life to serving the masses of our people, both during the struggle years and post the 1994 Democratic Breakthrough.
Oom Charles, as he was affectionately known was a reliable servant of the people, a volunteer of the movement par excellence and the embodiment of a fully developed cadre of our revolutionary alliance until his last hour. We too wish to be like Comrade Charles; to serve our people with distinction, to unite our communities and to be consumed by these uninterrupted revolutionary task to the cause of advancing socialism.
The SACP in the Northern Cape wishes to convey its warm and heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, friends, SACP Head Office Staff and comrades who served with Comrade Charles and exchanged paths in various structures.
