Jessie Duarte, former senior aide to Nelson Mandela, dies at 68

 

Today, July 18, is Nelson Mandela Day, which celebrates the work and life of the former President of South Africa.

 

“I am radical. I am sort of very left,” she said. “When the ANC was unbanned, people like myself were the hard core, rough, tough. We weren’t going to take any kind of concessioning for White people who had given us a hard time.”

 

She reserved a special venom for journalists. In one outburst at a 2019 news conference, she unleashed a finger-wagging screed against a South African reporter who sought her response to allegations of kickbacks and financial abuses by the ANC’s then-secretary general, Elias “Ace” Magashule, while he was premier of South Africa’s Free State province from 2009 to 2018. (The trial has been set for September pending Magashule’s appeal to have the case thrown out.)

 

She also pushed back against journalists’ inquiries about alleged links between her estranged husband, politician John Duarte, and powerful tycoon brothers Atul, Rajesh and Ajay Gupta, accused of siphoning off huge sums from state entities during the tenure of President Jacob Zuma from 2009 to 2018.

 

“Welcome to the alternate world of Jessie Duarte,” columnist Kalim Rajab wrote in South Africa’s Daily Maverick in April 2019. “A world in which journalists must [toe] the line and not ask why she tolerates venal corruption.”
