"The quality of our Deputy President, Oliver Tambo's speech makes me very happy - even if I and others in the leadership of the ANC were to die, there are young men like Oliver Tambo who are now ready to take responsibility for the ANC."
Chief Albert Luthuli, 1959

"In paying tribute to our Comrade President, I am addressing not only the unrivalled qualities and achievements of the individual, Oliver Tambo, I am addressing also the man as crystallisation and personification of what the ANC is and became under his leadership."
Nelson Mandela, 1990

"Our revolution was as great as any revolution... Our struggle was as great as any. Oliver Tambo's remarkable work was not only as an organiser, but to mobilise and keep the people together... Oliver, a man of harmony, could keep thousands of people under his thumb - disciplined - yet he was still admired and loved... That was a great contribution he made."
Walter Sisulu, 1994

"... OR was an intellectual in the best meaning of that word. He was a person of reason, a person of rational thought and rational action. It's a great ability, a great gift, that gift of reason. And I think it was central to OR's make-up and central to his behaviour. With Oliver Tambo, you had a person who could deal with both the concrete and the abstract, the specific, the particular and the general; between the tactics and strategy - that dialectical interaction, OR undestood very well."
Thabo Mbeki, 2001
