President Cyril Ramaphosa has set off from South Africa on a heartfelt trip to pay his respects at the “homegoing celebration of life” for the late Reverend Jesse Jackson", Jackson was a towering figure in the fight for equality in the United States and his bold stand against apartheid left a lasting mark on the world and earned him deep admiration from many nations, including his own. Ramaphosa is due to speak at the private service on Saturday, 7 March 2026, at the invitation of the Jackson family. This personal request highlights the strong bond between the civil rights leader and South Africa’s journey to freedom. The trip comes as a chance for Ramaphosa to reflect on Jackson’s lifelong push for justice. In a statement before leaving, the president called Jackson’s work against apartheid “irrepressible” and a key part of the global effort that helped end the unjust system. He noted how Jackson’s energy and clear principles put his own safety at risk to stand with those fighting for equality everywhere. While in Chicago, Ramaphosa will join a gathering of world leaders and activists to celebrate a man who bridged struggles across continents. The president’s presence shows South Africa’s gratitude for allies who stood firm during dark times, reminding everyone of the shared history that shaped today’s democracies. 2 Likes 1 Share

RandDigital, you are living in SA and our mods here in Nigeria are pushing your irrelevant topics to front page back-to-back on a Nigeria forum. Something you guys can never do for a Nigerian. That's by the way: so South Africans recognize Rev Jackson's contributions to the fight against the apartheid regime in your country simply because he is an American, but talk-down and b.ullshit Nigeria's contributions to the same course because we share the same continent. This is purely a classical case of see finish, honestly! 2 Likes |
