President Cyril Ramaphosa has approved that the funeral of the late Mr Titus Magashe Mafolo be accorded a Special Provincial Official Funeral, in recognition of his contribution to the liberation struggle and the attainment of a democratic South Africa. Ntate Mafolo was a freedom fighter, political activist, writer and presidential advisor. Growing up in Atteridgeville, he became actively involved in the struggle against apartheid from a young age.
His lifelong commitment to activism, political education, writing and community development has left an indelible mark on South Africa’s history. He served as a leader of the United Democratic Front (UDF), including as a National Executive Committee member and Publicity Secretary, and was part of the political underground of the African National Congress (ANC) and the South African Communist Party (SACP).
He was detained without trial on several occasions during the late 1970s and 1980s and played a key role in mobilising communities and young people across Tshwane and beyond during the height of apartheid repression. Mafolo was also among the leaders engaged by the Eminent Persons Group in the late 1980s and later served as an advisor and speechwriter to former President Thabo Mbeki.
The Special Official Provincial Funeral is scheduled as follows:
Date: Friday, 19 December 2025
