To our dear comrade Madiba,
The South African Communist Party joins the people of South Africa and the entire world in wishing you a very happy 90th birthday!
How proud we are to say we belong to a Party that was with you in the trenches in the bleakest hours of struggle. How proud we are to remain members of an Alliance indelibly shaped by your own wisdom and courage.
We know that the best birthday gift that we can give you is a solemn commitment never to abandon the values of our national liberation movement.
On behalf of the SACP, on this wonderful occasion of your 90th birthday, we pledge to work tirelessly for the unity of our people in the struggle for a better life for all.
Happy birthday, comrade Madiba!
