“The ANC continues to draw inspiration from him and his generation for their unwavering and unwavering commitment to the liberation of the country. This determination and veteran of our liberation war continues to play an important role in renewing and rebuilding our movement. He serves as our conscience and source of wisdom as we continue to navigate the many challenges facing our movement and nation. “

He was was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment on Robben Island alongside former President Nelson Mandela, Denis Goldberg, Walter Sisulu, Ahmed Kathrada and several other war icons.

After his release from prison 27 years later, Mlangen served as a Member of Parliament for the ANC from 1994 to 1999. He served in the National Assembly from 2009 until 2014, when he retired.

On June 6, Mlangeni’s birthday was celebrated by a “dignified trip” to his home in Dubai, Soweto, due to blocking restrictions.

Each car was given 30 seconds to wish Mlangeni a happy birthday and release a gift outside the home. The celebration was led by a fire engine and the mayor’s car, followed by June and Andrew Mlangeni Foundation believers.
