Tributes continue to pour in following the death of former African National Congress (ANC) National Executive Committee (NEC) member and Member of Parliament Dikeledi Magadzi.
Magadzi passed away on Sunday at the age of 75. She served as Deputy Minister in two portfolios, Transport and the Water and Sanitation Departments.
Before her role in the ANC NEC, Magadzi led various provincial departments in Limpopo as MEC.
Family spokesperson Edgar Mushwana describes her as someone who had a healthy relationship with people around her. Mushwana says she also played a crucial role in the formation of branches of labour union, Nehawu.
“She was politically active in the underground structures of the ANC. She was also very active member of Federation of Transvaal Women, a forerunner of the women’s league at the time, so she was in that structure and other structures of the UDF. She also was a founding member, together with her husband and a few other comrades from what we call the far north region there, who started the first Nehawu branch in the area.”
ANC Deputy Provincial Chairperson Comrade Florence Radzilani led an ANC delegation to the home of the late ANC leader Comrade Dikeledi Magadzi in Bendor, Polokwane, this afternoon to pay respects and express solidarity with the family following her passing.
