He was a great intellectual who always stood firm in his principles. He never deviated from his strong political views. and he was always able to present his incisive analysis and political arguments with eloquence and passion ”.

“He will be remembered as a pan-Africanist and patriot who was willing to fight for his beliefs and was never intimidated by apartheid. As the leader of the Black Consciousness movement, he led with courage and emerged even more resilient after many years of incarceration in prison.
