Judith Tshabalala (born 30 March 1982) is a South African politician from Gauteng who has been Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation since March 2023.

Tshabalala has served as a Member of the National Assembly of South Africa since 2019, and previously from 2011 to 2014. She is a member of the African National Congress.

Parliamentary career

Tshabalala is a member of the African National Congress. She entered the National Assembly of South Africa on 19 October 2011 as a replacement for Noluthando Mayende-Sibiya.[1] During her first term, she was assigned to both the Standing Committee on Finance and the Portfolio Committee on Arts and Culture. In July 2013, she became a member of the ad hoc committee on the Appointment of the Auditor General. She was not elected to a full term in the 2014 general election, as she was ranked low on the ANC's regional-to-national list.[2]

In May 2019, Tshabalala was elected to return to the National Assembly.[3] From June 2019, she was a member of the Portfolio Committee on Public Enterprises.[4]

National government

In a cabinet reshuffle on 6 March 2023, Tshabalala was appointed Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation by president Cyril Ramaphosa. She replaced Dikeledi Magadzi who was dismissed from government.[5]

Personal life

In February 2020, Tshabalala was hijacked at her home in Sebokeng. She was then taken hostage and dropped off unharmed in Eden Park, Alberton.[6]
