THE ANC HOSTS MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR THE LATE COMRADE PRAVIN GORDHAN IN GAUTENG AND KWAZULU-NATAL
- 16 September 2024
The African National Congress (ANC) informs the members of the media that it will host two memorial services in honor of the late ANC stalwart Comrade Pravin Gordhan, which will be held in Gauteng and Kwa-Zulu Natal.
Cde PG served the movement and the people of South Africa diligently from an early age at a time when our people faced the most brutal repression. His role in the underground structures of the movement, the labour and mass democratic movement and Umkhonto weSizwe (including Operation Vula) affirmed his commitment to the cause of our people and cemented his dedication to freedom and social justice. His life was a beacon of courage, and his contributions to the fight for a non-racial, non-sexist, and democratic South Africa will forever remain etched in the annals of our history.
The ANC will hold the memorial services in Gauteng and KZN and details are as follows
Memorial Service in Gauteng Province:

Memorial Service in Kwa-Zulu Natal Province:
