The African National Congress (ANC) National Executive Committee member, Nomvula Mokonyane says late struggle veteran, Rita Ndzanga will be remembered as an activist for the emancipation and right of workers and women.

Ndzanga, who served in the first, second, and third democratic Parliament passed away at the age of 89.

Mokonyane says Ndzanga was a self-less woman, self-less about the plight of rural women and committed to the safety and security of women. ANC Women’s League President, Bathabile Dlamini says, ”She was a strong, loyal member of the ANC and she was also a firebrand, fearless and was an all-rounder because she worked in the unions. She was in the Federation of Transvaal Women and an activist. She worked with women like Sister Bernard Ncube, and Mam Winnie Mandela. They were very close with Mam Winnie Mandela.”Ndzanga was born in 1933 in Ventersdorp in the North West and did her schooling at the Bantu High School in Johannesburg.

Because of her union and political activism, Ndzanga was banned and prohibited from attending any political gathering for five years in 1964. In 1969, Ndzanga was detained under the Terrorism Act and kept in jail for 18 months, after which she was banned and restricted to Senaoane for a further five years.
