Chair, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move on behalf of the ANC:
That the Council -
1) notes that last Sunday marked the 18th anniversary of the death of the former general secretary of the South Africa Communist Party and chief of staff of uMkhonto weSizwe, Comrade Chris Martin Thembisile Hani, who was brutally murdered outside his house in Boksburg on 10 April 1993 - a year before the first democratic elections on 27 April 1994;
2) further notes that Chris Martin Thembisile Hani, who was the son of a former ANC activist, was born on 28 June 1942 in a small rural town, Cofimvaba, in Transkei, approximately 200 km from East London, the fifth of six children, was a fierce opponent of the apartheid government and its blatant dehumanisation of and utter disregard for blacks and the working class in South Africa;
3) acknowledges that the life of Comrade Chris Martin Thembisile Hani continues to inspire new generations of revolutionaries and serves as a magnificent example of a courageous revolutionary leader who personified the noblest principles and finest traditions of our liberation and socialist movement; and
4) takes this opportunity to pay homage and tribute to this great son of Africa for his selfless and tireless sacrifices to fight for the liberation of Black people and the working class from the bondages of callous apartheid that orchestrated his death in 1993.
