Cde Oupa taught us to stand up for are ourselves against Department of Health and the trade unions. He was the best teacher. He taught us about what is good and best for CHWs.
Cde Oupa taught us in Gauteng, North West, and Mpumalanga that organising community health workers is not child’s play.
Cde Oupa was the rock of the ‘Transvaal Team. We learned from the best. If it was not because of him the Department of Health, its officials and the trade unions would still be oppressing us today.
Cde Oupa Lehulere we say to you: the ‘Transvaal’ team will continue the struggle Amandla!
