Whistleblower's life blown away

It is with a heavy heart that I remember comrade Jimmy Mohlala.

I remember so well and fondly the work we did, together with cdes Nomusa Dube, Petrus Mashishi, Roger Ronnie, Shoots Naidoo, Pat Nkosi and others in capacitating the first crop of municipal managers back in the day through the Dutch-funded Solidarity Project.

As we were building this local sphere of government to the current strength that it is today, little did we expect that you will die in its love and defense, especially so soon.

As we bid farewell to a dear comrade, and as the rubble and the dirt covers you, your legacy shall remain to benefit your friends and enemies' children in the many generations to come.
