South African President Cyril Ramaphosa delivers the eulogy during the funeral service of South African anti-apartheid figure Andrew Mlangeni in Soweto, South Africa, on July 29, 2020. - Mlangeni, 95, was the last surviving Rivonia trialist, spending more than quarter of a century imprisoned on Cape Town's notorious Robben island before his release in 1989.

Flags flew at half-mast as Mlangeni, who died last week aged 95, was laid to rest in a state funeral. The mourners wore face masks and observed social distancing rules in line with coronavirus precautions. “We need to commit ourselves to the renewal of the ANC he built, the ANC he was concerned about,” Mbeki said.
