Early years

[edit]

The source about his early years has disappeared. It was on the ANC website. New confirmation will have to be found. Vaaljapie (talk) 09:51, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Link to amandla.org.za does not work. I will move the statement to the end. Vaaljapie (talk) 10:28, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Everything said in the inappropriate heading political career is said elsewhere. I therefore deleted it, but repeat it here:

Political career

[edit]

Mahlangu never participated in the 16 June 1976 Soweto uprising though he joined the ANC in September 1976. He then left the country to be trained as an Umkhonto we Sizwe operative in Angola and Mozambique and on 11 June 1977 he returned to South Africa through Swaziland. Mahlangu and his friends Mondy Johannes Motloung and George "Lucky" Mahlangu, were subsequently tracked down by the South African Police in Johannesburg. Although “Lucky” Mahlangu managed to escape, in the ensuing gun battle four civilians were hit by stray rounds. Solomon Mahlangu and Motloung were arrested, tried, and hanged after two years.[1]

Having guns and hand grenades in your suitcase to commit murders, while pretending to be a civilian, doesn't qualify you as "guerrilla". --154.69.3.99 (talk) 16:55, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
