The African National Congress (ANC) Limpopo Veterans League is reportedly mourning the loss of one of its stalwarts, Geoffery Molala, who passed away at the age of 89. Known affectionately as Geoff, Molala died of natural causes in his hometown of Mahwelereng Township near Mokopane.
Molala was a revered figure, celebrated for his contributions to the liberation movements and his unwavering support for local communities. His passing marks the end of an era for many who viewed him as a pillar of strength and vision.
The Veterans League expressed profound sadness at Molala’s passing, highlighting his significant role in assisting the liberation movements during the struggle against apartheid and his continued dedication to community upliftment.
Geoffery Molala’s son, Donald Molala, paid a heartfelt tribute to his late father, saying, “The baobab tree has fallen. He was a pillar of the family, his family, and his extended family. He was a pillar to the community of Mahlwelereng, Mokopane, and the neighboring townships or villages. They will surely miss his guidance and his ability to see things before they happen. As a family, we will sorely miss him. May his soul rest in peace.”
Molala’s legacy as a visionary leader and freedom fighter leaves an indelible mark on the communities he served and the lives he touched. His contributions to the ANC and the broader struggle for freedom and equality in South Africa are remembered with deep respect and admiration.
