Mokhethi to be exhumed and reburied in SA

Mokhethi, who was buried near his fellow comrade Abram Onkgopotse Tiro in the old Gabrone cemetery, died in 1985 after a long illness. He was born on April 29, 1952 in Evaton, Vereeniging. Mokhethi matriculated at Morris Isaacson High School in Central Western Jabavu under the principalship of Lakgau Mathabatha where his political life started as a young student.

His uncle, a former teacher in Soweto who left the profession in 1956 because he could not tolerate the introduction of the Bantu Education Act of 1956, played a vital role in shaping the political outlook of Comrade Mokhethi.
