MESSAGE OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE TO
COMRADE JANET   MONDLANE
While reaffirming the expression of condolences and sympathy extended to you
and your children by the Executive Committee on the death of your husband and
our leader, Comrade Eduardo Mondlane, the Central Committee of FRELIMO
expresses, on behalf of the Mozambican people and of FRELIMO, its appreciation
for the high militant spirit shown by you.
It was with great emotion that the Central Committee of FRELIMO acknowledged
your strong decision to realise the revolutionary teachings of freedom, which
your husband transmitted to you during his life.
The Central Committee appreciates highly this determination after the moments
of grief through v/hich you have passed, because that proves that, with your
husband and the FRELIMO militants, you knew how to take what is more exaltant
in human life — the way of the understanding among men, the way of the
struggle for freedom.
You knew how to embrace this way — as a wife — encouraging Comrade Mondlane
to stay in his post, fortifying his determination, calmness and courage which
guided his action and made his name immortal.
The path that you, Comrade Janet, follow with us is our way, the struggle of
the Mozambican people. The struggle which continues, for freedom, for dignity
and against all forces at oppression, is a v/ay in which you and your children
will march at our side as an integral and indistinguishable part of our people
and our country.
Your decision, reaffirmed today, to engage yourself completely as a FRELIMO
militant, in this most difficult moment of your life, contributes to give us
the courage to continue following the revolutionary path clearly drawn up ty
our President, Eduardo Chivambo Mondlane. The heritage of fighting and
sacrifices v/hich falls upon us, will not be betrayed.
A LUTA CONTINUA
INDEPENDENCE OU MORTE
