Political career

Maluleke had been an African National Congress member of the Limpopo Provincial Legislature. She served as chairperson of the education committee.[1] She was ranked 17th on the ANC's regional to national list prior to the 2014 parliamentary election.[2] The ANC won only 16 regional seats in the province, declining Maluleke a seat in the National Assembly.[3] She did not return to the provincial legislature.[4]

In 2015, Polly Boshielo resigned from the National Assembly. The ANC chose Maluleke to take up her seat since she was next on the list.[5] She was then named to the Portfolio Committee on Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs. In 2018, she became a member of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Filling of Vacancies in the Commission for Gender Equality.

Maluleke was thirteenth on the ANC's regional list for the parliamentary election on May 8, 2019.[6] She was elected to a full term in parliament in the election.[7] In June, she was named to the Portfolio Committee on Public Service and Administration, Performance Monitoring & Evaluation and the Portfolio Committee on Women, Youth and People with Disabilities.[8] Maluleke became a member of the committee on the Powers and Privileges of Parliament in September 2019.

Maluleke died from COVID-19 related complications on 16 July 2021.[9] Her husband also succumbed to COVID-19-related complications the following day.[10]
