Ashley Kriel was murdered
Juilanau J. Rhaman: This is so monstrous and unfair. One can only imagine what impact and direction this comrade would’ve had in our country. Hope everything will be laid bare in the upcoming documentary. Waseem Brandt: I will always remember him from my days at Modderdam High. Passionate and committed to the cause. Fighting for the freedom of a free South Africa. One of the true heroes of this country. Viva Ashley viva. Berny BPk: I didn’t know him, but me asking questions started at his funeral. My thoughts go out to his family and may the Almighty grant you the strength to hold those responsible for this injustice… and then some. Vanessa Sauls Nelson: Let justice prevail and grant peace to his family. May our cadre Ashley Kriel rest in peace knowing his family, a great movement such as the ANC and his comrades support this probe into his death 100 percent. To the family, God’s strength to you. Amandla. Nazeema Samuels: Never to be forgotten. Long live the undying and fearless spirit of Ashley Kriel, long live. A true leader and hero till the end. The struggle for justice shall continue. Aluta Continua! Yolanda Cupido: Never forgotten, a true leader. History was made at Bonteheuwel High, you made us all proud. A hero until the very end, a tough time for your family to learn of this new found evidence. May God be a pillar of strength to them. Nurjahan Khan Dalvi: There are many who cannot understand why we bring the hurt and harm caused by the apartheid regime into the equation only now. They expect us to move forward graciously and they foolishly deny that we are still faced with apartheid demons, They conveniently forget that transformation occurred at a huge cost of lives of young and old, sacrifices such as Ashley Kriel, Chris Hani, the youth massacres of June 16, inter alia... Kenneth Louw: Long live the spirit of late Comrade Kriel. I can remember him from the 1985/86 riots where we as comrades marched from schools on Modderdam Road. In my matric year in Heideveld we marched to Gatesville.
Hendrick Latola:
The TRC let the entire
country down, and that’s a fact. Dolene Myburgh: What a loss to this country. Odette Gioio: We cried the day this happened. Viva Ashley Kriel, viva! You will always be remembered.

Carlo Costa: Many of us recognise Ashley Kriel as a hero, fighting for justice and honour his memory. May his family take Delia Zeederberg: The truth always come out. Dr David Klatzow is a great forensic expert and well respected. I have had the privilege of interacting with him in my line of work. Justice must prevail. RIP Ashley, you will not be forgotten.
Faizel Porter:
And the sellouts? Jane Versfeld: reveal.
Viva Ashley, viva! Truth shall Ridwan Williams: Aluta continua, the Struggle continues along with the pain for most of us. Even in this so-called democracy today, hours are spent in Parliament arguing about
While not demeaning other heroes, I perceive Ashley Kriel as one of the greatest unsung heroes of the struggle for liberation. His story was relayed to me by a fellow student activist,Mervin, at UWC in the late 1990s. Long live the spirit of our fallen hero, long live! May his family get the justice they deserve. God bless you. Alouette Cristine Davids: Strength to the family. A tragedy but not in vain. I’m 43 years old and will never forget Ashley Kriel’s death… Abdul Hartley: I don’t know him but my sister did. She said he was a humble lad. Rest in peace, comrade. Deon Russion: They must pay for their crimes as too many are getting away with TRC pardons.
Gavin Mackay: RIP comrade, we miss you.
