Jillian Nomancube Bam (born 14 September 1946)[1] is a South African politician who represented the African National Congress (ANC) in the National Assembly during the first democratic Parliament. Though not initially elected in the 1994 general election,[2] she was sworn in to a seat during the legislative term.[3]
Ahead of the 1999 general election, Bam stood for re-election as a candidate for two separate parties: the ANC and the opposition United Democratic Movement (UDM). Although she protested that she had not intended to defect to the UDM, she was expelled from the ANC.[4] She was ranked 22nd on the UDM's national party list and failed to gain re-election.
