Uhuru Moiloa

Dikgang "Uhuru" Moiloa is a South African politician who was Gauteng's Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Local Government and Human Settlements from March 2018 to May 2019.

Moiloa grew up in Dinokana, a region in the former Transvaal which was part of the Bophuthatswana bantustan during apartheid until it was incorporated into the North West province after 1994.

In December 1977, in the aftermath of the 1976 Soweto uprising and Bophuthatswana's declaration of independence, he left Dinokana for Johannesburg in present-day Gauteng province.

[1] He subsequently became active in the anti-apartheid movement,[2] including as a founding member of the Congress of South African Students in 1979,[3] and he was arrested and trialled by the apartheid government for participating in a march in honour of activist Solomon Mahlangu.

[4][5] Moiloa's early tenure in the Executive Council was marked by widespread service delivery protests related to housing shortages in Gauteng.
