14 June 2010
Members of the media are invited to a ceremony to hand over a house to Mrs Martha Mahlangu, mother to the late Umkhonto Wesizwe cadre, Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu. Mahlangu was arrested by the apartheid government in 1977. He was charged under the then Terrorism Act in 1978. He was subsequently sentenced to death and executed in 1979.
As part of government’s commitment to recognise and honour the heroes and heroines of the liberation struggle, the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Council built a new house for Solomon Mahlangu’s family with a view to develop and preserve the older family’s house where Mahlangu was born as part of his legacy.
On 6 April 2010, the City of Tshwane handed over the old Mahlangu family house to national government (Department of Arts and Culture) for further development and preservation. Government will hand-over the new house to Mrs Mahlangu on 15 June 2010, her date of birth. The details of the ceremony are as follows:
