Leader of the National Freedom Party (NFP) Zanele Magwaza-Msibi has passed away at the age of 59, a statement confirmed.

Zanele Magwaza-Msibi dies: What’s the cause of death?

On Monday, Magwaza-Msibi’s party revealed that the NFP leader had been recently admitted to a Durban hospital after falling ill.

According to caucus leader Ahmed Munzoor Shaik-Emam, Magwaza-Msibi’s condition was so severe, she was placed in the intensive care unit for some time.

“Unfortunately, she succumbed to her illness on Monday morning. The party is left grieving her loss and our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time,” Shaik-Emam noted.

In a more revealing statement released by family spokesperson Canaan Mdletshe, the NFP leader’s cause of death was linked to a cardiovascular attack.

“Ms Magwaza-Msibi was an exemplary leader, an activist and an advocate of our democracy. She lived her life fighting and championing the cause of the poor, vulnerable and downtrodden. She was a loved and greatly respected leader, whose passing leaves many at a loss.” Mdletshe wrote.

Here’s what we know about Magwaza-Msibi

Before she led the way at the NFP, Magwaza-Msibi served, for much of her political career, under the stewardship of the IFP.

She manned the local administration from 2000 as mayor of the Zululand District Municipality for 15 years before she was swooped into former president Jacob Zuma‘s 2014 Cabinet as Deputy Minister of Science and Technology.

Her passing came at a time when she was leading an effort to rebuild the NFP’s political identity after it was barred from participating in the 2016 national elections due to funding issues.
