Thembisile – The Promise
Martin Thembisile Hani 28/06/1942 - 10/04/1993
The fire that kept the hope of the revolution burning when the people were at their lowest. At the ripe age of 24, Hani led a regiment of the Luthuli Detachment into battle against the SADF and the Rhodesian Forces. Later to be known as the Wankie Campaign. The only MK detachment to have never lost a battle. A man who kept true to his word. That his sole purpose was to liberate the people. Not to become an elitist. “What right do I have to hold back, to rest, to preserve my health, to have time with my family, when there are other people who are no longer alive? When they sacrificed what is precious; namely LIFE itself”
