During Robert Sobukwe's centenary commemoration, Lindiwe Sisulu expressed shock at the neglected state of the Pan-Africanist leader's grave, calling for a national policy requiring municipalities to properly maintain struggle heroes' resting places. 'Other countries treat their heroes' graves as if they are still alive,' she lamented, suggesting South Africa must do better to honour those who fought for freedom.
