Oliver Tambo

Desmond Tutu said this.

Oliver Tambo said this.

South Africa was never anything like this.

Jim Crow in the South of the US was never like this.

I will crush corruption and end killer deployment.

Those who are in positions because they can sing about Oliver Tambo the most, it's not going to happen anymore.

In other news, two Zimbabwe nationals have been arrested after explosives were found in a Toyota Quantum during a stop and search operation on the N1 near Kranskop in Limpopo.

The suspects were travelling from Zimbabwe to Gauteng.

The creative industries and sports and culture is a strategic tool.

It's something that was even identified by our great icon, Oliver Tambo, that is a social strategic tool to not only mobilize society, but to unite them and advance them.

Third to that, it's very much important that we understand the role of sports.

Can I please be protected, Clement? And then it's very important to understand the role.

The ANC had a blueprint.

Oliver Tambo set up a blueprint before, actually yesterday it was his birthday.

He set up a blueprint before we even negotiated.

It was a blueprint of establishing a constitutional democracy.

But it shows that he is an ANC cad-carrying member.

Because wherever he is, he doesn't have evidence that Keshane betrayed Oliver Tambo.

Where did he get that South Africa betrayed Oliver Tambo? Because not all of us...

Yeah, when he says South Africa betrayed Oliver Tan, he's talking about me as well, including me.

Oh, okay.

Oh, South Africa in general terms.

No, no, I didn't see that.

Yeah, if you can watch the clip...

He used his brilliant mind.

In 1952, he and his friend, Oliver Tambo, opened the very first black law firm in South Africa.

That's huge.

Did they win their cases? They tried their hardest, but the laws were completely rigged against them.

We can't stay out for a long time.

And you will hear that exaggerated by the propagandists of the regime who also tried to make out that Tambo and others were living in luxury abroad.

But the essence for MK comrades and the young people, some who became very impatient at times, was understanding that and they were changed entirely.

And that's the 1976 generation,

Chairperson and chair, The movement decided to deploy me in 1980 from Angola to the forward areas and I was deployed to Mozambique.

I would slip in and out of Swaziland with other people who were working from Mozambique for the command doing political military intelligence work.

And I served under Oliver Tambo and what was called the Revolutionary Council in Lusaka.

We had these structures operating from Lesotho where Chris Harney was in charge to Maputo where Joe Slovo was in charge of MK to Botswana, Dan Tulumi was there and others, and of course Lusaka, which by then had become the headquarters from 1966 when it became independent.

We're gonna get to, we're gonna get there, though.

"It is as much a condemnation of all violence Christians are involved in, including the violence of, quote-unquote, 'just war.' It condemns Luther as much as Munzer, Bonhoeffer as much as Oliver Tambo.

Again, I do not say that their interpretation is necessarily wrong, but I do protest against the simple pietistic exegesis which prescribes non-violence for one group of Christians, while saying not a word about the violence of those who have forgotten what it means to be oppressed, and who, in their own history, have never hesitated to take up arms." Kind of a powerful statement, um, about this bit.

Uh, I appreciate adding the complications and ripples to the conversation around non-violence.
