ten tye van haar dood het ons geweet dat mama adelaide tambo kort vantevore uit die hospitaal ontslaan is. maar omdat ons ook geweet het dat sy die volharding van gees en die wilskrag het om die stryd saam met die lewendes voort te sit, was dit ons voorneme om haar en ander lede van haar gesin as ons gaste by hierdie deurlugtige geleentheid te verwelkom. dit was ons helaas nie beskore nie.
