Very interesting how Sophie Mokoena runs away from the fact that Zimbabwe was the Chair of the Frontline States that made a significant contribution in fighting for thr freedom of both Namibia and South Africa.

Please say it as it is, our abcestors wre coming back home lets salute Zimbabwe snd Zambia

[RaesibeRadebe]

Thanking our government to bring closure to families, knowing where your loved one resting is better than not knowing what happened to them, although it's heart breaking

[ljvision]

The ancestors coming to settle down the nonsense happening in their land. Spiritual connection

[matthewdube]

We shall talk about those that died in other countries but lets focus on thse from Zambia and Zimbabwe even its not so popular these days to praise anything about Zimbabwe brcause of xenophobia....shame!

The drill and uniformity has a lot to be desired.

When Mr Zuma was the president, why did he failed to bring them back as he claims to be one of the leaders of MK?

[msimelelo]

The ANCization of our struggle is a disservice to the collective memory as a nation. Sophie Mokoena is blank about other liberation movements and its contributions and she is parroting the ANC story and makes it sound as an authentic story of our struggle.

Where were these remains retrieved from? Did they die in exile of old age? Did their comrades kill them? The ANC or MK never faced any of the Apartheid forces.

But now those countries which helps S A liberation , are called kwere kweres in south africa

[wandilekhongisa]

I thought the MK military wing was out countries to train so they can fight the boere regime in SA. So who killed them there, who were they fighting with in those countries? I think the Anc must start to tell the truth because it is said the very same leaders who were leading these guys were the ones killing them.
