Foreman Road Development Committee (Affiliated to Abahlali baseMjondolo)

Memorial Service for the Late Lungisani Jama, Tonight at 6:30 p.m.

A hero has fallen.

Lungisani Jama’s passing will be mourned and his life celebrated at the Foreman Road settlement tonight at 6:30 and in Gamalakhe, Port Shepstone on Saturday.

Lungisani was a man of struggle. He was born in 1976 and schooled in Gamalakhe where he was SRC president. He first started coming to the Foreman Road settlement during school holidays and he moved here permanently after he finished school. Immediately on his arrival he joined SANCO and the Branch Executive Committee of the ANC. But he broke with both organisations when he realised that they were not interested in doing anything for the poor and he was a founding member of Abahlali baseMjondolo in 2005.
