Today, July 27 2017, marks the 90th birthday of Zondeni Veronica Sobukwe, the ignored and discarded “Mother of Azania” who has endured unspeakable suffering, struggle and pain for most of her years.
The Sobukwe family as a whole has suffered and continues to endure dreadful pain, none of them more so than Mama Sobukwe who has benefited little-to-nothing from her husband’s estate, properties or titanic legacy.
On her 90th birthday this story in its entirety is one of the great tragedies of our times.
