Over 200 mourners gathered at the Buffalo City Hall in East London to pay their final respects for the late ANC MP Fezeka Loliwe.
Among those in attendance were former Sadtu leader and Minister for Public Works Minister Thulas Nxesi, ANC provincial chairman Oscar Mabuyane and his PEC and some NEC members including Zingiswa Losi, Pemmy Majodina, Noxolo Kieviet.
Nxesi, who has served with Loliwe in the teachers union and within the SACP, described Loliwe as a disciplined servant, a passionate unionist and great teacher.
“When we heard of the loss we were devastated as the SACP and particularly within the Sadtu as she was influential at the grassroot level building of Sadtu and the merging with other smaller unions to form the great Sadtu we see today,” said Nxesi.
He further called for the teacher union to revitalise itself and to move away from divisions that do not serve the interests of the workers and the development of the teaching profession.
