COSATU Eastern Cape bids farewell to Comrade Lunga Ndulo

It is with utmost shock and a profound sense of sadness that Congress of South African Trade Unions in the Eastern Cape received the news of the passing of Comrade Lunga Ndulo.

Comrade Ndulo was the COSATU Gender Structure Provincial Deputy Secretary in the term that ended in March 2025, and a former Provincial Chairperson of the DENOSA Gender Structure. He developed from a shop steward in his institution and was elected at Local level. His leadership potential was further identified in the Enoch Mgijima Local of DENOSA and was elected as a Deputy Secretary and later the Chairperson.

He rose within the DENOSA structures and served in the Tembeka Gwagwa Region as its Deputy Secretary and later the Regional Chairperson of the Gender Structure. His staunch gender activism was noticed by other regions within DENOSA, and he was elected as the union’s Provincial Chairperson of Gender Structure. In 2022 he was elected as Provincial Deputy Secretary of the COSATU Gender Structure. He served his union and COSATU concurrently with unparalleled commitment.

Comrade Lunga always had a cheerful disposition and was keen to engage on any matter before him. He was a selfless, dedicated and disciplined warrior.

We take this opportunity to express our sincere sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the Ndulo family, relatives, friends, colleagues in the health sector for this sad loss.

Funeral details are as follows:

Date: 10 May 2025

Place: Njakazi Location, Centane

Comrade Ndulo’s memory will forever remain in the hearts of the many people he touched. May his dear soul rest in eternal peace. Hamba kahle Gxarha!
