The man who led the African a
tional Congress through decades of
crusading against apartheid, Oliver
Tambo, died of a toke April 25. He
was 75.
"He was my partner, my comrade,
my friend and my COlleague," aid
Nelson Mandela, Tambo's lifelong
friend, successor to th presidency of
ANC and, with Tambo, formed the

sanctions, and form a guerilla army
in neighboring African states.
