Political career

Born on 16 September 1954,[1] Dambuza has been a member of the ANC since 1980.[2] She was the treasurer of the party's regional branch in Sisonke, KwaZulu-Natal from 1998 to 2005.[2] During that period, she was elected to the National Assembly for the first time in the 2004 general election, serving the KwaZulu-Natal constituency.[3] She was re-elected to a second term in 2009, now on the ANC's national party list; during her second term, she also chaired Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Human Settlements.[2][4]

Dambuza did not initially win a third term in the 2014 general election. However, she was sworn back in to the assembly on 14 October 2016 to fill the casual vacancy arising from Bonisile Nesi death.[5] She remained in the seat until the 2019 general election and represented the Eastern Cape constituency.[2]
