‘’These fighters were members of the EFF in good standing, community leaders, fearless ground forces and activists who died in the line of duty in service of their community. Their lives were cut short by the bullets of the enemy of the people."

EFF Deputy President, Floyd Shivambu, who delivered the keynote address at the memorial service at Itsitsa Primary School in Mfuleni, said the party is equally grieving with the family of those who were killed.
