Nakedi Grace Sibanda-Kekana (born 16 January 1966) is a South African politician who is currently serving as Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Agriculture and Rural Development in the Limpopo provincial government.
She was previously the MEC for Sports, Arts and Culture, a position she was appointed to in October 2022, shortly after she was elected Provincial Treasurer of the Limpopo branch of her political party, the African National Congress (ANC).
She ran on a slate aligned to the incumbent ANC Provincial Chairperson, Stan Mathabatha, who was running for re-election to a third term in his office.
[9] When the ANC's provincial elective conference opened in June 2022, Donald Selamolela declined a nomination to stand against Sibanda-Kekana, leaving her to contest the position against Faith Chauke.
[24] In response to this criticism, Mathabatha pointed out that Radzilani and Sibanda-Kekana had not faced criminal charges and that their appointment was therefore compliant with the ANC's step-aside guidelines for party members implicated in corruption.
