On behalf of Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund, I wish to express condolences to the Sisulu family on the passing of their family member Mlungisi Sisulu.
More than being son to long time friend and fellow struggle stalwart to our Founder Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Lungi as we had fondly known him, would not miss to add his counselling but supportive voice and weight to causes geared at public good.

​His was a voice that was loud and clear in support for a cause, in the early consultative days, for the establishment of Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital.

Of the many fellow travellers the Children’s Fund has amassed in the journey for this cause geared at changing the face of specialist care for children, Lungi was part of the procession of this legacy project.

May the Sisulu family take comfort in the thought that their loss is shared by many.
