Deputy Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the House I shall move on behalf of the ANC:
That the Council -
1) notes that this year marks the 32nd anniversary of the execution of one of our gallant fighters and heroes of the struggle, Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu, whose death on 6 April 1979 on the gallows became a declaration of supreme sacrifice by one of our beloved cadres towards ensuring our freedom from the tyranny and brutality of apartheid and its forces;
2) further notes that Comrade Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu was sentenced to death by hanging on 2 March 1978, after being wrongfully charged with murder and terrorism in 1977 and on 15 June 1978, Comrade Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu was refused leave to appeal his sentence by the Rand Supreme Court and, on 24 July 1978, he was refused again in the Bloemfontein Appeal Court despite 60 000 petitions by fellow South Africans; and
3) takes this opportunity to pay tribute and homage to this great son of Africa for his bravery and sacrificing his life for freedom and democracy in South Africa; Let his spirit live forever to guide South Africa and all nations of the world to achieve peace and prosperity.
