Delivering the keynote address, Motlanthe said: “Comrade Andrew Mlangeni was a leader of our struggle who embodied the very core of what the struggle was about. He was an elder on who’s council one could rely on. He was truthful, earnest and dependable. He generously gave us his knowledge and skills.”
