# The ANC is today commemorating the life and legacy of the late struggle icon and former party president, Oliver Tambo. He served as ANC president in exile for three decades, and played a pivotal role in mobilising international support against apartheid. The commemoration will take place in Ekurhuleni and will include a wreath-laying ceremony, and deputy president Paul Mashatile will deliver the 2025 O.R. Tambo Memorial Lecture. The lecture will be held under the theme, Reaffirming the Moral Compass of Our Struggle: Unity, Integrity, and Renewal.
