ENCA2.png Jabulani 'Mzala' Nxumalo Honoured eNCA, Pietermaritzburg, 9 April 2016 SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande believes the Nkandla Constitutional Court judgment should be a wake-up call to the ANC and its alliance partners. Nzimande spoke at a ceremony honouring the legacy of Struggle stalwart Jabulani Mzala Nxumalo on Thursday evening. Nxumalo was as a political activist and intellectual who joined the ANC and the SACP at an early age and was exiled. He died at the age of 31 at a London hospital in 1991. Nzimande advised leaders to reflect on the lives of fallen heroes such as Mzala. He referred to the Constitutional Court ruling on Nkandla and President Jacob Zuma's response, adding that both should be welcomed. "That apology must be a beginning of a process for self-introspection and self-corrective measures to be taken by the ANC, its alliance and the ANC-led government," Nzimande cautioned. Tracing footprints Nzimande handed over personal documents of the late activist to the Mzala Nxumalo Centre for the study of South African society. It was founded to trace Nxumalo's footprints while reflecting on his legacy. The centre's chief executive officer, Dr Bheki Mngomezulu said: "The centre part of its mandate is to conduct research on issues of national importance so we will be drawing a lot from Mzala's writings as well." Mzala's family welcomed the move to honour his dream. His widow, Mpho said her late husband's writings could teach others about being more patriotic about their country.
