ANCYL Bertha Gxowa Branch mourns a young soldier
We urge all comrades to not visit the family as we are still under level three lockdown regulations.
It is with deep sadness to learn about the fall of comrade Elihle Ramarumo who died on January 14.
Elihle died as a member of ANCYL in Ward 124, Bertha Gxowa Branch. She has been instrumental in organising people in the Southern Suburbs Bowling Club VD and played a key role in youth development structures.
She will be remembered as the founder and secretary of Eagle Youth Empowerment, an NPO she had dedicated herself to to make a difference in her community during hard times of lockdown. The NPO distributed sanitary towels, held mobile soup kitchens and other humanitarian aids for the community of Ward 124.
Before her death, she was working on a back-to-school campaign where she was organising uniforms, sanitary towels and other valuable school materials. The youth league bows down to her hard work and calls all young people to multiply her deeds in community development.
We pass our deepest condolences to the family, friends, colleagues, beneficiaries of her hard work, comrades and the community at large. In her loss of life we don’t count numbers; we are broken and left with a burden of a community-builder vacancy.
Due to the pandemic, we will be communicating with the family in order to get the final send-off dates, which will be broadly communicated to the public.
We urge all comrades to not visit the family as we are still under level three lockdown regulations.
May the revolutionary, hardworking soul of our soldier rest in power.
Amos Vuyisile Mangcipu – ANCYL branch chairperson
