The good advocate was dedicated to whatever he chose to participate in. He was a member of the Nelson Mandela Museum Council (Board) for two terms.
He served the museum and promoted the legacy of a Nelson Mandela in the same way he served the movement, the African National Congress and remained true to its vision and principles.
We live in times of great pain, where our humanity is deeply challenged to the core. We live in times when we cannot freely practice our humanity in the customary way. We live in times where to practice our humanity we have to some extent become anti human- social distance, don’t touch, isolate, wash your hands regularly, sanitise etc.
These words are human and anti human at the same time. In normal circumstances such behaviour would be anti human, but in the circumstances we find ourselves they are human and a gift to humanity.
The advocate, I want to believe understood this deeper than most. He was schooled in dialectical materialism and therefore this would be normal analysis for him.
Except that, in times like these analysis does not seem to be helpful, science seems to be slow, humanity is crying, let that which can improve the human condition be quickly found. If it is the vaccine, let human beings come together, forget their selfishness and produce enough for everybody that needs it.
In memory of Tolo, uZulu, a man who dedicated his life and resources to the improvement of the human condition, let us unite and corporate in defeating the impact of COVID-19.
May the soul of Dlangamandla rest in peace.
