Dingake fought for our freedom

Although he never was State President, he was a true tautona. Mourning his passing the ANC this week thus observed: “Comrade Dingake’s commitment to the cause of liberation was unwavering, despite enduring arrest, torture, and a lengthy imprisonment of 15 years at Robben Island. His resilience in the face of adversity inspired generations of activists and freedom fighters.

Even after his deportation to Botswana, comrade Dingake continued to contribute to the struggle, playing a pivotal role in establishing a base for Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) and African National Congress (ANC) underground operatives. His dedication to the fight for social justice remained unyielding and unrelenting throughout his life.”
