Lindiwe Zulu (born 21 April 1958) is a 66-year-old South African politician who currently serves as South Africa’s Minister of Social Development. She attended St. Theresa’s and Mjingo schools before moving on to the Swaziland Cooperative Development College in Ezulwini.<\/strong><\/p>\n As South Africa begins the arduous task of rebuilding after the widespread lootings and riots that greeted Jacob Zuma<\/a>\u2019s imprisonment, one minister whose portfolio will prove critical in the whole process is Lindiwe Zulu. A battle-hardened activist whose days in the trenches stretch right back to South Africa\u2019s fight for independence, Zulu is a trained communicator who has supplied her expertise to the African National Congress in various capacities.<\/p>\n She has since been appointed to various positions in government, enjoying a distinguished career spanning decades. While most political office holders usually have to contend with one controversy or the other, Zulu\u2019s time in the public sphere has been relatively uneventful, save for a few allegations which were quickly proven to be untrue.<\/p>\n It can be rightly said that Lindiwe Zulu joined politics in her teens. Born in Nhlazatshe in present-day Mpumalanga in the year 1958, Lindiwe Zulu came into this world at a time when South Africa was firmly under the grip of apartheid. Her entire village got burnt as a result of injustice and this left her family homeless. They, therefore, sought a new home and it was in the course of this that they moved to Swaziland where Lindiwe Zulu and her siblings would grow up.<\/p>\n All these circumstances greatly impacted the young Lindiwe Zulu and she was therefore quite politically aware and involved. Her political impetus further grew after the 1976 student uprising back in her motherland. Several young South Africans fled the country to avoid prosecution and some of them landed in Swaziland. Zulu exchanged ideas with them and the zeal to fight for her country burned in her heart. She joined the African National Congress in the late 70s and went into exile in Mozambique.<\/p>\nSummary of Lindiwe Zulu\u2019s Biography<\/strong><\/h3>\n
