Revive Spirit Of OR Tambo To Renew Today's ANC - Ramaphosa Reflects On #Morogoro50

LECTURE BY ANC PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA ON THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MOROGORO CONFERENCE

Fellow South Africans,

This year, we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the ANC’s National Consultative Conference held in Morogoro, Tanzania in 1969, an event that will forever stand out as a turning point in our struggle for freedom.

We have chosen to mark this occasion on the day that we celebrate the birth of one of the most remarkable leaders of our people, Isithwalandwe Seaparankoe Oliver Reginald Tambo.

We do so to recognise the leading and exceptional role that OR Tambo played in the Morogoro Conference and the contribution that he made to its success.

“We do so also to acknowledge the unmatched contribution that OR Tambo made to the unity, strength and integrity of the African National Congress during its darkest and most trying times.”
ANC PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA

We recall these pivotal events in
