Celiwe Qhamkile Madlopha is a South African politician who has represented the African National Congress (ANC) in the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Legislature since 2019. Before that, she was a Member of the National Assembly between 2010 and 2019. She is also a former Provincial Chairperson of the ANC Women's LeagueinKwaZulu-Natal.

Political career[edit]

Madlopha was active in the Congress of South African Students in her youth in the 1980s.[1] She was formerly the Deputy Mayor of Umhlathuze Local Municipality[2][3] and she was sworn in to an ANC seat in the National Assembly in November 2010.[1][4] In March 2012, she was elected Provincial Chairperson of the KwaZulu-Natal branch of the ANC Women's League in a fierce contest with the outgoing chairperson, Lungi Mnganga-Gcabashe; Nonhlanhla Khoza was elected alongside her as Provincial Secretary.[3]

She was re-elected to her first full term in Parliament in the 2014 general election, ranked third on the ANC's regional party list for KwaZulu-Natal.[4] However, she left her ANC Women's League office in September 2017, when Khoza was elected to succeed her.[5]

In the 2019 general election, Madlopha did not stand for re-election to the national Parliament, but instead was elected to a seat in the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Legislature, ranked 39th on the ANC's provincial party list.[4] She remained active in the ANC – her local regional branch was the Musa Dladla branch in King Cetshwayo District[6] – and in July 2022 she was elected to a four-year term on the Provincial Executive Committee of the party's KwaZulu-Natal branch.[7] In addition, she was elected to three consecutive five-year terms as a member of the Central Committee of the South African Communist Party, in 2012,[8] 2017, and 2022.[9]

Personal life[edit]

She was married to Bonginkosi Elphas Madlopha, a Christian minister and a local leader in the ANC and the South African National Civic Organisation.[10] He died in February 2014 shortly after he and his wife arrived in Cape Town for the 2014 State of the Nation Address.[10]
