ANC deputy secretary general Jessie Duarte has died - Duarte died after an eight month battle with cancer
After 1994, she was elected to the ANC Gauteng provincial executive committee and served as Gauteng’s first safety and security MEC, a role Duarte quit due to a controversy over her driving licence.
Duarte rose to the party’s national leadership during this period, and was elected as deputy secretary general of the ANC at its 2012 elective conference in Mangaung, a post to which she was re-elected in 2017 at Nasrec., who was arrested on corruption charges and forced to step aside, and had faced death threats from his supporters in the ANC radical economic transformation faction who believed she had abandoned their cause.
“Her life was a tribute to the marginalised women of our country who have today assumed their rightful place in the forefront of the struggle. We celebrate her life as one decorated with full service to humanity,” Mangaye said.
