Media Statement By Mr Bantu Holomisa, MP and President of the United Democratic Movement
The United Democratic Movement (UDM) offers our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, colleagues, and the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC) on the passing of Motsoko Pheko.
Motsoko Pheko’s pivotal role in the struggle is widely recognised, characterised by his uncompromising nature and steadfast dedication to the PAC. His unwavering commitment to the issue of land rights exemplifies his profound passion for justice and equality.
Despite his initial appearance of being brisk, Motsoko Pheko was known to be a deeply warm individual upon closer acquaintance. His distinctive pan-African coloured scarves made him easily recognisable from afar, adding to his memorable presence. Many of us regarded him as a father figure within Parliament, and his legacy will continue to be cherished and remembered fondly.
