The ANC was mourning the loss of ANC veteran Zola Skweyiya, who died in Pretoria on Wednesday morning.
Skweyiya's death came after a protracted illness, and just days before his 76th birthday on Saturday, April 14, said ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe.
"On behalf of the national executive committee (NEC) of the ANC and the entire membership of the movement, we pass our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Thuthukile Skweyiya, and the entire family for their loss," he said.
"The movement mourns with them as we celebrate the life of this gentle giant of our struggle."
