Saul Tsotetsi (died 1992) |
Dikeledi Rebecca Tsotetsi (born 3 November 1956) is a South African politician from Gauteng. She represented the African National Congress (ANC) in the National Assembly from 2009 to 2019 and was the Mayor of Emfuleni Local Municipality from 2006 to 2008.
Formerly active in the anti-apartheid movement, Tsotetsi began her legislative career as a member of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature from 1999 to 2006. She left her seat in March 2006 when she was elected as Emfuleni Mayor, but, controversially, her own party forced her to resign from that office in May 2008. She subsequently served a brief stint in the National Council of Provinces until she was elected to the National Assembly in 2009. She failed to gain re-election to her seat in the assembly in the 2019 general election.
