Audrey Sbongile Zuma (born 7 November 1961) is a South African politician, serving as a member of the National Assembly of South Africa since May 2019. She is a member of the African National Congress.

Background

[edit]

Zuma completed grade 12 while attending school. She has been a member of the regional executive committees of the ANC and its women's league.[1]

Parliamentary career

[edit]

For the 2014 general election, Zuma was placed 31st on the ANC's list of KwaZulu-Natal candidates for the National Assembly.[2] She narrowly missed out on a place in parliament as the ANC won only 27 seats in KwaZulu-Natal.[3]

She was moved up on the list for the 2019 general election, occupying the 8th position.[4] She was elected to the National Assembly at the election.[5]

After entering parliament, she became a member of the newly established Portfolio Committee on Employment and Labour.[6] She currently serves as a member of said committee.
