Re bolela ka monna wa go t?ea gabotse, yo e lego gore ke ipona ke le mo ke emego nts?he ka lebaka la bophelo bja gagwe. Fazzie ke thomile go mo tseba ka 1994 ge re fihla mo go fihlela lehono. Se ke ratago go se bont?ha ke gore, ge re bala mangwalo, mo go Ditiro 16: 20-28, e bolela ka Poulo yo a ilego a ya kgolegong ya mamathing kua Roma, gomme o ile a ya kgolegong maikemi?et?o a gagwe e le go lokolla set?haba bokgobeng.
Fazzie o ile a ya Robben Island maikemi?et?o a gagwe e e le go lokolla batho bokgobeng. O ka se bolele ka Poulo gore e be e le mogale, wa se bolele ka Fazzie. Mo go Kutullo 1:9, Johannes o ile a t?ewa a i?wa sehlakahlakeng sa Patmous, ka ge a be a thulant?ha mmu?o wa kgatelelo wa mmu?i wa pele e lego Herote. Fazzie le yena o ile a t? ewa a i?wa sehlakahlakeng sa Robben Island. Ka a mangwe mant?u o swanet?e go bona gore o ka se bolele ka boPoulo le boJohannes ka mo B bebeleng wa lebala go bolela ka Fazzie go swana le bona.
Ka mant?u a mamngwe, ke nyaka go le bont?ha gore mokgalabje wo, e be e le motho yo bogale, wa maikarabelo ao e lego gore lehono ge o ka lebelela maloba ge go be go le kotsi, le rena baruti re be re na le poifo ya go thulant?ha aparteiti ka bont?hi. Re be re na le poifo. Fela Fazzie, le ge go le bjalo, o ile a emelela a kwi?i?a gore o swanet?e gore a re hwele. Go bile ka tsela ya mohuta woo.
Ba lekgotla la ANC, re le ba Cope, re kwele bohloko mmogo le lena. Ke ngwana a belegwa, ke wa batswadi ba babedi - ke wa monna le mosadi. Efela ge a hlokofala, ke wa rena kamoka ga rena. Ka gona, go robala ga Fazzie go bohloko go rena, re lla le lena, re na le lena, re kwele bohloko go swana le lena. Ke dumela gore ba ga Fazzie ba tsebae gore mokgots ei yoe mogolo wa Fazzie e be e le nna. Ke ile go kwa ke lehfu la gagwe, ka ba founela ke bot?i?a gore go direga eng, ba hlatholla gore ga a se le gona, o robet?e. Ke nyaka go bon?ha gore ke lla le lena.
Mangwalo a makgethwa...o momgwe a seke a re ga re ka kerekeng, ee ga re ka kerekeng, re ka gare ga Ngwako. Fela ke boledi?wa ke gore Fazzie ga a fapane felo le BoJohannes le -Poulo. Re t?ea gore banna le bas adi ba maatla ba be ba le kua go boRoma le -Isiraele. Le gona mo ba bile gona ba ba swanago le boPoulo le -Johannes; ke bo mokgalabje Fazzie.
Re re o e ikgathile tem a ya gagwe, re mo. Go rena re ?et?ego, eE ke re ka t?wet?a pele toro ya ga Fazzie go rena re ?et?ego re e t?wet?e pele ka khut?o. Moya wa gagwe a o robale ka khut?o modimo a mo gaugelea. Ke a leboga. [Legoswi.] (Translation of Sepedi speech follows.)
[Mr L J TOLO: This is an honourable man we are talking about. I am personally here because he sacrificed his life. I met Fazzie in 1994 when I got here. I would like to share with you Acts 16:20-28 in the Bible that talks about when Paul was taken to prison in Rome. He was fighting for the release of his people from slavery. Fazzie was taken to Robben Island because he was fighting for the release of his people from slavery. You can never mention Paul as a hero and not mention Fazzie.
In Revelation 1:9, John was taken to the island of Patmos because he was fighting against oppression brought about by king Herod. Fazzie was also taken to Robben Island. In the same breath, you cannot talk about Paul and John from the Bible and not mention Fazzie.
I want to bring to your attention that this man was a hero - a hero who sacrificed his life to free us from slavery. You need to look back and acknowledge that it was tough back then. As church leaders we had our fears in fighting against apartheid. We were scared; but Fazzie did it for us. That is how it is.
As Cope members, we share the pain with the members of the ANC. When a child is born, the child belongs to his or her parents - the child belongs to a man and a woman. But when the child dies, we all share the loss. We are saddened by Fazzie's death just like you; we share your pain.
I believe that Fazzie's family knows that I was Fazzie's best friend. I called them after hearing about the sad news and they explained to me that he has passed on. Let me indicate that I am mourning his death with you. The word of God ... please do not tell me that we are not in church, because I know that we are now in the House. I am only saying this because Fazzie was just like John and Paul. We do believe that there were powerful men and women in Rome and Israel. We had people who were like Paul and John even amongst us, and Fazzie, the old man, was one of them. He ran his race.
For those of us who are left behind, may we pursue Fazzie's vision peacefully. May his soul rest in peace and experience God's grace. Thank you. [Applause.]]
