COMMUNICATIONS Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams has called on the South African Post Office (Sapo) to digitise the newly launched centenary commemorative stamp of struggle icon Albertina Sisulu.

The Minister on Tuesday launched the centenary commemorative stamp of Mama Albertina Sisulu and handed it over to her family at the Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) auditorium.

“We have seen the interest that South Africans and people outside the country have shown in the stamps. They are selling because people relate to the work that she did and [admire] the values and the principles she stood for,” Ndabeni-Abrahams said.

In November 2018, Cabinet resolved that a Commemorative Stamp for Mama Sisulu should be issued in honour of her centenary birthday, and in recognition of the significant and selfless role that she played in the country’s liberation.

Ndabeni-Abrahams said the launch of the commemorative stamp presents an opportunity to keep the story of Sisulu alive.

“It’s never too late to honour those that have been an inspiration in our lives because we come from areas where there have been women who have not been recognised,” the Minister said.
