Mashatile To Deliver Keynote Address At Langa Massacre Commemoration

Deputy President Paul Mashatile will deliver the keynote address during the commemoration of the Langa Massacre, which will be held at Kariega in the Eastern Cape today.

The Nelson Mandela Municipality has set aside R5 million to host the event.

The Langa Memorial site is receiving a major facelift where the Deputy President, Ministers and affected families will also take part in a wreath-laying ceremony.

However, about 56 families are lamenting a lack of houses, stable jobs, sustainable food provision and special pension funds after 40 years.

Those who are still suffering as a result of the massacre include 75-year-old Hombakazi Solomon, who lost her husband, who was a breadwinner.
