The ANC in the Northern Cape will this morning host an interdenominational church service celebrating what would have today been Albertina Sisulu’s 100th birthday.


This is according to the party's media liaison officer in the province, Naledi Gaosekwe,  who said that Sisulu's daughter, Lindiwe, would be joining the celebrations. 

The event will commence at  noon at the Mayibuye Centre in Galeshewe, Kimberley.

Albertina Sisulu was a political activist and nurse and one of the most important leaders of anti-Apartheid resistance in South Africa. She is often referred to as the `Mother of the Nation’. She acted on her ideal of human rights throughout her life, assisted by her husband and fellow activist, the late Walter Sisulu.
