UCT mourns Sisulu's passing
12 May 2003
Walter Sisulu
Hamba kahle: Walter Sisulu, who died a week ago, will be much mourned by his loving wife Albertina, whom he married in 1944. As a mark of respect at the passing of this great man, flags at UCT will fly half mast from Wednesday to Friday (May 14-16), prior to the official funeral scheduled for Saturday, May 17. An icon of the struggle, and father figure and mentor to former president Nelson Mandela, Sisulu will be laid to rest at Croesus cemetery near Highgate in Johannesburg after an official state funeral.
