We cannot sit idle while our leaders are martyred, it’s either we submit or resist!!

Mvezo Komkhulu (The Great Place), Saturday 28th September 2024: The Great Cedar of Lebanon has fallen but in the shadow of his glorious sacrifice the forests of freedom will flourish. May Allah Almighty accept the martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. Nothing deterred him from fighting for Al Aqsa, blessed Gaza and all of Occupied Palestine. He dedicated more than 30 years of his life fighting imperialist occupation and history will record him as one of the great freedom fighters whose lives will be celebrated in a liberated Palestine.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, the leadership and followers of Hezbollah and the brave Lebanese people who have stood unwaveringly with the just cause of the Palestinian people.

We urge all in the Axis of Resistance to stand firmly in the face of Apartheid Israel and its allies deliberate plan to eliminate the leadership of the resistance. They will continue with their vile plan and eliminate more leaders. However, the fire of resistance and defiance burning in the chests of the people of Palestine and Lebanon will never be extinguished until freedom dawns.

In bidding farewell to the great mujahid and stellar leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah we remember the words of our global icon President Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela when he said: “I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal for which I hope to live for and to see realised. But my lord, if it needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah lived and died for the cause he believed in and dedicated his life to. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah may no longer be with us but the ideals for which he paid the highest price will live on until freedom dawns. We shall celebrate his life and plant a great cedar in his honour in a free and liberated Palestine.
