'There's nothing to celebrate without land': PAC

JOHANNESBURG - There is nothing to celebrate until the land is returned.

Those are the sentiments of the Pan Africanist Congress in the West rand.
The party has described Gauteng’s Heritage Day celebrations as disingenuous.
It was remembering the Munsieville four who were hanged by the apartheid government in 1964 on Sunday.

Petrus Ntshole, Thomas Molatlhegi, Richard Motsoahae, and Josiah Mocumi were members of the PAC’s military wing and died chanting their allegiance to the return of the land to the dispossessed.

To honour and celebrate their legacy the Gauteng provincial government held this year’s Heritage Day celebrations in Munsieville.

However, the PAC in the area does not share the same sentiments.

Despite the differing views around the event itself, it was a festival of colour with locals dressed in their traditional attire to honour their own heritage.
