ANC has been losing its top members since 2020. It is really sad, but at the same time we have to remember that it is part of life.

 

Jessie Yasmin Duarte was a South African politician and acting secretary-general of the African National Congress.

She was elected Deputy Secretary General at the 54th National Conference in 2017. Her term of office was supposed to expire in December 2022, when the 55th National Conference elects a new Deputy Secretary General.

It has now been reported that the ANC Deputy Secretary General Jessie Duarte, passed away in the early hours of this morning. She had battled with cancer for a while now. Duarte is Muslim, and they do not take long to bury, as a result, she will be buried this afternoon in Johannesburg.

May her soul rest in peace, it is yet another sad day in South Africa for most people, especially those who knew her personally. It is sad that there are people who are celebrating her death.
