Durban, South Africa — In a moment that has brought both grief and reflection across the ranks of the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK Party), the organisation has officially extended its deepest condolences to its Second Deputy President, Cde. Tony Yengeni, following the passing of his sister, Cde. Nontombi Eunice Moloto.
The statement, released on 12 April 2026, is more than a formal message of sympathy—it is a reminder of the human bonds that underpin political struggle and revolutionary unity.
MK PARTY EXTENDS CONDOLENCES TO SECOND DEPUTY PRESIDENT CDE.
A LOSS THAT TOUCHES THE MOVEMENT
The MK Party makes it clear that this is not a private loss carried by the Yengeni family alone. Instead, it is a collective moment of mourning for a movement built on shared sacrifice, history, and solidarity.
In revolutionary movements, comradeship becomes family. The passing of Cde. Moloto is therefore felt across the broader organisation, where relationships are forged not only in meetings and campaigns, but in struggle, resilience, and shared purpose.
HONOURING A LIFE OF DIGNITY
Cde. Nontombi Eunice Moloto is remembered as a woman of dignity, whose presence contributed meaningfully to both her family and community. While the statement does not detail her full life history, it highlights the importance of recognising the quiet strength and influence of individuals who shape families and communities behind the scenes.
This reflects a deeper lesson for society: leadership is not only defined by public office, but also by the everyday impact individuals have within their communities.
THE VALUES THAT DEFINE MK PARTY
At the heart of the statement is a reaffirmation of MK Party’s guiding principles:
- Compassion in times of loss
- Unity in moments of pain
- Collective care as a revolutionary duty
The organisation has called on all its members and supporters to keep the Yengeni family in their thoughts and prayers, reinforcing a culture where political identity is rooted in humanity.
A TEACHING MOMENT FOR THE NATION
This message carries an important lesson for South Africans:
In times of grief, unity must rise above divisions.
Whether in politics, community structures, or families, the ability to stand together during loss is what strengthens the social fabric of the nation. The MK Party’s response demonstrates how organisations can lead not only in governance and activism, but also in compassion and moral responsibility.
A FINAL FAREWELL
As the nation joins the Yengeni family in mourning, the words of the statement echo with quiet strength:
May her soul rest in peace, and may her memory continue to inspire resilience and unity among those she leaves behind.
