Cape Town, June 24 (RHC) -- The caucus of the African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa's parliament welcomed the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters who are visiting the country.

Since their arrival on Sunday, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez and Rene Gonzalez have been carrying out a packed agenda that includes tours of historic places, as well as meetings with government officials and solidarity organizations.

The Vice President of the National Assembly, Lechesa Tsenoli, said that the Five -- as they are known all over the world -- are considered an inspiration in South Africa.

In exclusive statements to Prensa Latina news agency, Tsenoli highlighted the example of resistance these men constitute, having withstood their unfair imprisonment in the United States for so many years.
