The president said the new era should be defined by adherence to the values of the glorious movement of Mlangeni and his comrades who sacrificed their lives for this country.
Former president Thabo Mbeki shared the same sentiments with Ramaphosa.
He said a good farewell and honour for Mlangeni would be to renew the ANC and get rid of corruption.
