Nokwe to be reburied at West Park cemetery
JOHANNESBURG - This weekend the ANC will re-bury the remains of the former Secretary General of the Party, Duma Nokwe. The reburial in Johannesburg will be addressed by the ANC President, Cyril Ramaphosa, and other senior leaders. Nokwe was the first African advocate of the Supreme Court and he became a powerful voice in the struggle against apartheid. In 1963 he began a life in exile and from Zambia he served as the ANC's Director of International Affairs. Nokwe died in Lusaka in 1978 at the age of only 50 after struggling with his health. For decades he remained buried in exile but his remains were repatriated to South Africa last year.
