Remembering Hani should open debate

Celebrating the 15th anniversary of the late and former communist leader Chris Hani, on the 10 April was a reflection of the social, economic and political ills facing South Africa today.

The tripatite alliance SACP, ANC and Cosatu leaders including Blade Nzimande, Tokyo Sexwale and Zwelinzima Vavi unanimously spoke about the deep social inequalities, greed, poverty and unemployment that confronts our country 14 years in democracy.

Fifteen years later after Hani was killed, many people remain poor and the gap between the poor and the rich widens. These are the realities that should have tha nation talking and reflecting on the gains of democracy. Photo: Nkosana Lekotjolo
