City of Tshwane Housing Woes: Zithobeni Residents’ Concerns

As we mark 33 years since the passing of Oliver Tambo, we are reminded that reflecting on his leadership is not just an exercise in history—it becomes a mirror that forces us to ask difficult questions about what leadership truly means in times of crisis, and what happens to it when that sense of crisis begins to fade. Tambo’s leadership was not forged in comfort or close to power; for decades, he led in exile as the strategic backbone and public face of the African National Congress at a time when it was banned, its structures were broken inside the country, its leaders were imprisoned or underground, and its legitimacy was constantly under attack from the apartheid state. Yet it was precisely in this environment of pressure, fragmentation, and uncertainty that his leadership came to define resilience, discipline, and purpose.
