The pride shown by the Sisulu grandchildren at the naming of the highway photo is symbolic of the pride some of our politicians can aspire to achieve when serving the nation. Yes naming places, roads and cities after these giants should not be a political game of chess but an attempt to ensure that the legacy left by these icons are never forgotten and a reason why we should never be driven back into the dark ages of apartheid. This would mean that the present day capitalist parasite who live of the poor should never be given any status of rememberance as it enhances one's focus to aspire to be like these buffoons. Long live your legacy MA SISULU

Hamba Kahle. We can but pray that some of the ladies dignity and reason eventually rubs off on the lower ranks of the ANC who are a disgrace. We are losing the last tall trees and we are replacing them with weeds.This is not what people like Mrs Sisula suffered for.

Rest in peace mama Sisulu. You have left us big shoes to fill, as young married man, your story of struggle and love to your husband gives me a sense that there's a lot still to be learnt from your lives. Ulale ngoxolo
