Fulufhelo Florence Radzilani (née Dzhombere; born 21 April 1971) is a South African politician who is currently serving as Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Social Development in Limpopo Province.
[2] After a brief stint in the Premier's office, from 2007 to 2011 she served as Member of the Mayoral Committee for Technical Services in Limpopo's Vhembe District Municipality.
[2][7] However, when Stan Mathabatha took office as Limpopo Premier in July 2013, he reshuffled his executive, firing Radzilani and replacing her with Joyce Mashamba.
[10] The investigation was conducted by advocate Terry Motau, who said that Radzilani had been at the centre of "one of the most illuminating examples of the rampant corruption and bribery that occurred" at VBS, which was declared insolvent in 2018 after bank executives defrauded depositors.
[11] The report reproduced WhatsApp messages in which the former VBS chairperson, Tshifhiwa Matodzi, was informed that Radzilani had been "crying" because she had only received R300,000 in kickbacks.
[1] In September 2020, the ANC National Executive Committee decided, and the Limpopo PEC agreed, that Radzilani could return to her party leadership role, given that she had not been prosecuted in the two years since she had stepped aside and no conclusive evidence had emerged to implicate her in wrongdoing.
[17] After her re-election to her ANC office, Stan Mathabatha, as Limpopo Premier, appointed her his MEC for Transport and Community Safety on 6 October 2022.
[10] In 2018 there was a minor scandal when her husband told the Sowetan that he had obtained a voice recording in which Premier Stan Mathabatha confessed romantic feelings towards Radzilani, his deputy in the ANC.
