The former secretary-general, an IFP MP until 8 May, died on Saturday after a long illness at a Durban hospital.
Today the outgoing IFP leader, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, is expected to pay his last respects and deliver a speech at the memorial service of the former IFP secretary-general, Sibongile Judith Nkomo.
Party national spokesperson Mkhuleko Hlengwa confirmed Buthelezi’s attendance at the memorial service. The politician was highly respected within the IFP for her “high-level professionalism, diligence and efficiency of the highest order” in the execution of duties as secretary-general. All senior party members said Nkomo represented the best of IFP leadership in general and woman leadership in particular.
Before being redeployed to the National Assembly in 2013, Nkomo chaired the Standing Committee on Public Accounts at the Gauteng Provincial Legislature. In parliament, she among others, served in finance, home affairs, and tourism portfolio committee among others.
