For Immediate Release May 1, 1993
STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY
A Presidential delegation departed Andrews Air Force Base last
night (April 30) to attend the funeral of ANC leader Oliver Tambo
in South Africa. Tambo, who led the ANC from exile for a period
of over 20 years, will be laid to rest in Johannesburg on May 2.
The delegation is being headed by HHS Secretary Donna Shalala and
includes Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Randall Robinson of
TransAfrica, Ernest Green, Jesse Jackson, Nadine Hack, Bill
Lynch, Maya Angelou, William Lucy and White House and State
Department staff. Ambassador Princeton Lyman will join the
delegation in Johannesburg.
President Clinton decided to send the delegation to convey U.S.
respect for the ideals of peace and democracy which marked
Tambo's public life and to demonstrate support for the transition
to non-racial democracy now underway in South Africa.
Tambo will be widely and deeply mourned, as he was revered for
his leadership of the international anti-apartheid movement,
especially during the 1970s and 1980s. Unfortunately Tambo did
not live to see the culmination of the process of negotiations to
democratic government which he did so much to foster.
