The tragedy occurred last Monday night near Vryheid, KwaZulu-Natal when a bus carrying supporters from Umlazi collided with a long-haul truck, resulting in a catastrophic crash.

At the mass funeral yesterday Malema expressed his deepest condolences and promised support to the grieving families.

"To the families of these young heroes, we say you are not alone. Your loss is our loss. Your tears are our tears. Your children are not forgotten," he said

"We must continue to be disciplined and die in the revolution, because to die in a revolution must be an honour, and so we will honour all of these young heroes.
