Mama Rita, along with her husband Babu Lawrence Ndzanga, played a pivotal role in building the ANC’s underground structures during the apartheid era.

Cde Dingake, your 96th birthday coincides with the 30th anniversary of our democracy. Something we must celebrate – and we hope that you will be with us on the 27th of April to celebrate this anniversary and hopefully around about the same time, a further election victory for the ANC.

Barry Vincent Feinberg, SACP and ANC stalwart, has died in Cape Town after a long and difficult illness, bravely borne. For thirty years of London exile he was a tireless backroom worker designing the movement’s publicity. Many of the African Communist and Sechaba journals most striking cover designs were his work; as were the layout and graphic designs of ANC and SACP clandestine leaflets and literature distributed in South African cities.
