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.
when she died, we knew that mama adelaide tambo had been recently discharged from hospital. but because we also knew that she had the tenacity of spirit and strength of will to soldier on among the living, we had intended to welcome her and other members of her family as our guests on this august occasion. but that was not to be.
