Kgalema Motlanthe

Some notes on the man the ANC is deploying to the South African Presidency

Petrus Kgalema Motlanthe was born in Alexandra Township on July 19 1949, the oldest boy of his parents' six children. His mother was a washer woman who later worked in a clothing factory. His father worked in Anglo-American's head office. Kgalema would be the only male in the family who did not end up working for the company at one point or another.

His family moved from Alex to Meadowlands Soweto in 1959. The formative influence in his early years was the church. "I grew up in the Anglican Church" he told City Press in 1992, "and was very close to the priests. They belonged to the Community of the Resurrection." He served as an altar boy for many years and at one point thought of becoming a priest.

In a 1992 interview with the academic Padraig O'Malley Motlanthe noted that the brothers of this order, to which Trevor Huddleston belonged, "were the first people who were doing visible social welfare work in the townships and one came into conflict with them at a very early age."
"These people lived communal lives, they had a common approach to things and basically shared everything that they had with whoever happened to be at the mission at that point in time. To me at that time, they were quite an eye opener in that here were whites who were prepared to do ordinary chores like washing their own dishes, etc. At that time it was quite an experience in that in Johannesburg there was no place where blacks could buy food and enjoy it except on a pavement, but here were whites who would walk into any home in the townships and share basically anything they had, and that is really what shaped ones philosophy in general."
