# Nelson Diale

Letsau Nelson Diale (1 January 1936 – 8 January 2015) was a South African politician and anti-apartheid activist from Limpopo. He joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1956 and served eight years' imprisonment on Robben Island, from 1964 to 1972, for his work with Umkhonto we Sizwe. After the end of apartheid, he represented the ANC in the National Council of Provinces from 1994 to 1999 and in the National Assembly from 1999 to 2014.

## Early life and career

He was born on 1 January 1936 at GaMasemola in Limpopo in the former Northern Transvaal. He did not complete his schooling but instead, in 1952, left the village to take up work as a waiter at a hotel in Pretoria. He joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1956 and the Domestic Workers' Union, an affiliate of the South African Congress of Trade Unions, in 1958. The ANC was banned in 1960 by the apartheid government, but Diale covertly joined the party's new armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), and underwent military training. In January 1964, his unit was arrested; after being severely tortured, they were convicted of sabotage and imprisoned on Robben Island. Diale served eight years and was released in 1972.
After his release, Diale was subject to a banning order which, for the next four years, restricted his movements and political activities. He nonetheless continued to work underground for the ANC. In the mid-1970s, he was arrested again but on that occasion was acquitted and served with another banning order. In the 1980s, he helped Aaron Motsoaledi establish the Sekhukhune Advice Office, which provided logistical and financial advice to detained or injured activists and their families.

## Legislative career: 1994–2014

In South Africa's first post-apartheid elections in 1994, Diale was elected to represent the ANC in the Senate (soon to become the National Council of Provinces), the upper house of the South African Parliament. In the next general election in 1999, he was elected to represent the new Limpopo constituency in the National Assembly, and he was re-elected to his seat in 2004 and 2009 before retiring in 2014.

## Honours and death

In April 2011, President Jacob Zuma awarded Diale the Order of Luthuli in Silver for "his excellent contribution to the struggle against apartheid and for his selfless sacrifices for the attainment of freedom for all in South Africa". He died on 8 January 2015 in Sekhukhune in Limpopo. Zuma granted him a special official funeral.
# Lucky Gabela

Lucky Sifiso Gabela (born 31 May 1968) is a South African politician from KwaZulu-Natal. He represented the African National Congress (ANC) in the National Assembly from 2004 to 2006 before defecting to the Congress of the People (COPE) ahead of the 2009 general election. Although he represented COPE in the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Legislature from 2009 to 2014, he returned to the ANC in 2014.

## Early life and activism

Born on 31 May 1968, Gabela was active in anti-apartheid politics in Umlazi during his youth.

## Post-apartheid political career
### African National Congress

He represented the ANC in the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Legislature during the latter part of the 23rd Parliament, and in 2004 he was elected to a seat in the National Assembly. However, he resigned from his seat on 15 May 2006 and was replaced by Wilson Ngcobo. He went on to serve as an advisor to former KwaZulu-Natal Premier S'bu Ndebele.

### Congress of the People

Ahead of the 2009 general election, Gabela defected from the ANC to COPE, a newly formed breakaway party. He was announced as the party's candidate for election as Premier of KwaZulu-Natal. Though he was not elected as Premier in 2009, he became COPE's sole representative in the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Legislature.
After a single term in the legislature, and ahead of the 2014 general election, Gabela announced on 30 April 2014 that he would not seek re-election with COPE but would instead return to the ANC. The press linked his decision to his closeness with the faction of COPE led by Mbhazima Shilowa, which was losing its battle with Mosiuoa Lekota's faction. Gabela said of his decision:
   I have decided to return to the ANC after seeing that there was no peace in COPE. I am not seeking any position and I have not been promised anything. Today I am correcting the mistake I made when I joined COPE, not knowing that I was putting myself into a dictatorship.

# John Munn (shipbuilder)

John Munn (12 March 1788 – 20 March 1859) was a Scottish-born shipbuilder and political figure in Lower Canada.
He was born in Irvine, Scotland in 1788, the son of a sailor, also named John Munn, and came to Quebec City in 1801, where he began his career as a shipbuilder. In 1814, he went to Montreal, where he manufactured ships for the government. He set up his own shipbuilding business at Quebec in 1815. Many of the ships that he built were transported to Britain for sale. Munn, well known as a master craftsman, also trained a number of shipbuilders. He also helped found Queen's College at Kingston.
In 1837, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada for the Lower Town of Quebec in a by-election held after George Vanfelson resigned his seat. He served on the city council for Quebec from 1840 to 1842. In 1845 and 1846, he built steamships for the People's Line of Steamers; when this company was unable to pay, Munn was forced to take back ownership of the ships. Because he had borrowed heavily from the Bank of British North America to finance their construction, this left Munn in a bad financial position and he was later forced to sell his shipyard and other properties.
He died at Quebec in 1859, where a small park bear his name in the Saint-Roch neighbourhood. It contains a sculpture that represents a ship and is called Le roi du fleuve (King of the River), John Munn's nick-name. Munn was buried in Mount Hermon Cemetery in Sillery.
# Order of the October Revolution

The Order of the October Revolution (Russian: Орден Октябрьской Революции, Orden Oktyabr'skoy Revolyutsii) was instituted on 31 October 1967, in time for the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution. It was conferred upon individuals or groups for services furthering communism or the state, or in enhancing the defenses of the Soviet Union, military and civil. It is the second-highest Soviet order, after the Order of Lenin.
The insignia of the Order consisted of a badge, which was a red star with golden rays between the arms; at the centre was a pentagon bearing the image of the cruiser Aurora participating in the October Revolution. Above this was a red flag bearing the words "October Revolution" in Russian. A Hammer and Sickle emblem was placed at the bottom. The badge was worn on the left chest with a red ribbon bearing five blue stripes at the centre.
The Aurora was itself awarded the Order, the only ship ever to have received the award. Military units and institutions receiving the award applied the order name to their title upon its reception.
# Wilson Ngcobo

Ndawoyakhe Wilson Ngcobo is a South African politician who served in the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Legislature from 1999 to 2006 and from 2009 to 2014. In the interim, he served briefly in the National Assembly from 2006 to 2009. He was a member of the Democratic Party (DP), later the Democratic Alliance (DA), until September 2005, when he crossed the floor to join the African National Congress (ANC). In 2015, he left the ANC to establish the National Religious Freedom Party, a KwaZulu-Natal-based party of which Ngcobo is president.

## Political career

In the 1999 general election, Ngcobo was elected to the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Legislature, ranked fifth on the DP's provincial party list. He was re-elected to his seat in 2004 under the DP's successor party, the DA. However, during the 2005 floor-crossing window, he announced that he had left the DA to join the ANC. He said that he was attracted by the ANC's progressivism, saying that, "Some of the white people in the party think the DA is there to serve white people's interests only".
On 7 August 2006, the ANC sent him to the National Assembly, where he filled a casual vacancy in the ANC caucus. In the 2009 general election, he was returned to the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Legislature, where he served until the next general election in 2014. In 2015, he left the ANC to form the NRFP. The party contested the 2019 provincial election in KwaZulu-Natal, with Ngcobo ranked first on the party list, but it did not win any seats.
# Blackburn White Falcon

The Blackburn White Falcon was a two-seat single-engine monoplane built as a personal transport for Blackburn's test pilot during the First World War. Only one was built.

## Development

The White Falcon was built by Blackburn during 1915 for the personal use of their chief test pilot, W. Rowland Ding. It was a mid-wing, wire-braced monoplane with open cockpits for pilot and passenger, powered by an uncowled 100 hp (75 kW) Anzani radial engine driving a four-blade 9 ft (2.74 m) diameter propeller. The wings were of parallel chord and generally like those of the Improved Type I, though 1 ft (31 cm) greater in span, similarly wire braced to an inverted V kingpost and to the undercarriage. The wing warping wires also ran via the kingpost. The White Falcon initially used a standard B.E.2c undercarriage (Blackburn was one company manufacturing these aircraft during the war) but this was replaced later with a simpler structure without skids.
The fuselage was a standard Blackburn Warren girder structure, though of square rather than the company's previously favoured triangular cross-section. The decking was rounded. While the tailplane was like that of the Improved Type I, the fin and rudder formed a neat triangular shape with a vertical trailing edge.
The first flight date is not known nor is there much information on its use. It has been suggested that it was used by Ding to communicate with RNAS stations that had received Blackburn built B.E.2c machines, and to collect their delivery pilots. In the winter of 1916-17 it wore RAF roundels but no serial number. Rowland Ding died in a B.E.2c crash in Leeds on 12 May 1917.

# Alain Marion (sport shooter)

Alain Marion (1946 or 1947 – June 24, 2023) was a French Canadian sport shooter. He competed in the discipline of fullbore target rifle (TR), and won three Commonwealth Games medals, including gold in the 1986 fullbore pairs. He set the record score for the Sovereign's Prize twice, and was the second shooter to win it three times.

## Life

Marion was the son of Noël Marion and Adèle Létang, and began shooting at the age of twelve. An early mentor was Gerry Ouellette, a gold medallist in the 1956 Olympic Games: Marion later recounted that Ouellette's first response to his request for advice was to hand him a box of 5,000 cartridges, telling him to return when he had fired them all. Ouellette gave Marion a rifle and drove him to his early shooting matches. Marion was first selected to represent Canada at the age of twenty.
Marion was part of the winning Canadian teams in the 1972 and 1982 World Long Range Championships. He was capped three times for Canada in the Commonwealth Games. Along with William "Wilf" Baldwin, he won the gold medal in the fullbore pairs event at the 1986 Games, held in Edinburgh, with a score of 583 out of 600. For the 1998 games, in Kuala Lumpur, technical difficulties forced him to use his second choice of rifle: he and Jim Paton placed second with a score of 298 out of 300. In the same games, Marion placed second in the individual Queen's Prize with a score of 396 out of 400. In 2002, he was a coach for the Canadian shooting team at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games. He won the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association's fullbore championships twelve times, a record as of 2023. He won the Canadian Grand Aggregate ten times, also a record, and the Governor General's Prize five times.
Marion was capped forty-two times in the Canadian team for the Imperial Meeting at Bisley in the United Kingdom, more than any other shooter. At Bisley, he won the Queen's Prize in 1980, 1983 and 1996, placing second in 1972 and third in both 1987 and 1990. His score of 294 out of 300 in 1980 was, at the time, a record; Marion had previously jointly set a record of 293 with the British shooter Dick Rosling in 1972, but lost to Rosling in a tie shoot. Marion won the Grand Aggregate in 1990, having previously placed second in 1973 and 1980. He placed in the top hundred of the Queen's Prize and the top fifty of the Grand Aggregate sixteen times apiece, both a record for a non-British competitor as of 2023. After Arthur Fulton, who won in 1912, 1926 and 1931, he was the second shooter to win the Sovereign's Prize three times: as of 2023, no shooter has surpassed this total. He won over twenty Canadian provincial championships. He also won a bronze medal in the Commonwealth Shooting Federation Championship.
The British National Rifle Association described Marion as "one of the greats in the world of TR". On October 25, 1991, he was awarded membership of the Order of Canada. He worked as a police officer in Hull, Quebec, and was married to Francine Vadnais, with whom he had one daughter. When interviewed in 1998 about the reasons for his shooting success, he said "I just kept doing it and it worked".
