Anti-Apartheid icon Andrew Mlangeni to get special official funeral

Andrew Mlangeni Funeral Details

Savanna News has learnt that the late anti-Apartheid icon Andrew Mlangeni is set to get special official funeral category 1.

Andrew Mlangeni funeral will be on Wednesday, 29 July 2020.

He passed away on Wednesday, 22 July 2020, at the age of 95, following an abdominal complaint. 

President Cyril Ramaphosa has declared a Special Official Funeral Category 1 as a mark of respect for the last remaining Rivonia Trialist and Isithwalandwe/ Seaparankwe Andrew Mokete Mlangeni.

The President participated in Bab’ Mlangeni’s birthday celebration last month in the company of, among other notable guests, President Thabo Mbeki, President Kgalema Motlanthe and Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi.

Bab’ Mlangeni was awarded Isithwalandwe/Seaparankwe —the highest honour by the African National Congress for those who have made an outstanding contribution to the liberation struggle in 1992 — and received the Presidential Order for Meritorious Service: Class 1: Gold from President Nelson Mandela in 1999.

In terms of the Presidential declaration, the National Flag will fly at half-mast from the morning of Friday, 24 July 2020 until the evening of Wednesday, 29 July 2020, the day on which Bab’ Mlangeni will be laid to rest.

The details of the Special Official Funeral will be communicated in due course.

President Ramaphosa has once again offered his sincere condolences to the Mlangeni Family as well as the friends, comrades and associates of the Struggle hero countrywide and internationally.

Other prominent and non prominent South Africans also mourned Mlangeni.

Mlangeni was the last surviving person who was sentenced alongside Nelson Mandela at the infamous 1964 Rivonia Trial, and spent 26 years in prison for his role in the fight against South Africa’s racist apartheid system.

He spent 26 years on Robben Island as Prisoner 467/64.

Mlangeni – alongside Nelson Mandela, Ahmed Kathrada, Walter Sisulu, Elias Motsoaledi, Govan Mbeki, Raymond Mhlaba and Denis Goldberg – was convicted of sabotage on 11 June 1964 – roughly 56 years ago. 

The group were arrested in 1963 on the Liliesleaf Farm, Rivonia, where they were discussing Operation Mayibuye, part of the ANC’s armed struggle against apartheid.
