JOHANNESBURG - Dr Snuki Zikalala says the ANC Veteran's League remembers Gertrude Shope as someone who wanted nothing to do with corruption.
He says she was very strict and stuck to her morals.
He has described her as an ethical person.
MaShope is being honoured with a Special Official Funeral Category 1.
She was a key figure in the anti-apartheid movement, serving in exile, underground structures, and later in the democratic Parliament.
MaShope led the ANC Women’s League and the Women’s Section in exile, influencing the party’s direction and the fight for women’s rights.
