Ndleleni Duma

[4] After apartheid ended in 1994, Duma became the inaugural Provincial Secretary of the ANC's branch in the new North West Province.

[1][8] On 23 August 2005, Molewa announced a reshuffle in which he was moved to a new portfolio as MEC for Arts, Culture and Sports;[9][10] he remained in that office for the rest of the legislative term.

[4] In February 2005, Duma appeared in court in Cape Town on fraud and theft charges emanating from his tenure in the national Parliament.

In October 2006, he signed a plea bargain and pleaded guilty in the Cape High Court to theft in relation to R51,000 in unlawful benefits.

According to the Mail & Guardian, ahead of the trial, the ANC caucus in the provincial legislature gave him a standing ovation "in a show of moral support";[15] after his acquittal, the ANC passed a motion to congratulate him, which the opposition Democratic Alliance called "an insult to thousands of South Africans who are victims of accidents caused by drunk driving".

[21] He was still serving as an ordinary Member of the Provincial Legislature at the time of his death;[4][24] his seat was filled by Mmoloki Cwaile.

[7] The President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, granted him a special provincial official funeral,[24] which was held on 1 December at Ikageng Stadium in Potchefstroom.

[1] Several government officials were later charged with fraud for alleged misappropriation of municipal funds designated for Duma's funeral.
