And in South Africa, longtime African National Congress member Raymond Mhlaba has died at the age of 85. In 1964 he was sentenced with Nelson Mandela to life imprisonment for trying to overthrow South Africa’s apartheid regime. Mhlaba was released in 1989. Following his death Mandela said “His passing away removes from us one of the real stalwarts of our movement, a person who in his life and work embodied the highest values our struggle stood for and strove towards.”
