Alphina Anna "Gogo" Ndlovana (born 25 August 1957) is a South African politician who has represented the African National Congress (ANC) in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature since 2019. A teacher by training, she was formerly a local councilor in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality and, before that, a public servant in the Mpumalanga Department of Education.
Early life and career
Ndlovana was born on 25 August[1][self-published source] 1957 in Mamelodi.[2] She became politically active through the anti-apartheid movement while a student at Vlakfontein High School. While teaching at Rethabile High School in Mamelodi, she became co-founder of Mamelodi Teachers Union.[2] In addition to her teaching certificate, she has a Bachelor's degree from the University of Pretoria and a Master's degree in educational management from the University of Johannesburg.[2]
After the end of apartheid in 1994, she was recruited to the Mpumalanga Department of Education,[2] where she rose to a senior position as an education specialist.[3] Mpumalanga Premier David Mabuza suspended her from the department in mid-1999 after an internal inquiry found that she was partly responsible for fraudulently inflating the province's matric results by 20%.[3]
Political career
Ndlovana formerly served as a proportional-representation councillor in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality.[2] She is an active member of the ANC Women's League in Gauteng,[2] and she was elected to a four-year term on the Provincial Executive Committee of the ANC's Gauteng branch in July 2018.[4] In the general election the following year, she was elected to the Gauteng Provincial Legislature, ranked 14th on the ANC's provincial party list.[5] She was re-elected to the ANC's Provincial Executive Committee in 2022.[6]
Personal life
She has three sons.[2]
