Politicians hail Jessie Duarte as a formidable leader
Duarte lost her 8-month battle with cancer in the early hours of Sunday morning at the age of 68. She's been largely described as a fierce - and committed ANC activist - who served in the secretariat since 2012.
Meanwhile, UDM leader Bantu Holomisa has hailed Duarte as an unwavering and resilient maternal voice of reason within the structures of the ANC. "Jessie was a hard worker, a no-nonsense taker. You could see even now that when she got sick you could see that the ANC was rudderless".
