Nonhlanhla Claribel Nkabinde is a South African politician who represented the United Democratic Movement (UDM) in the National Assembly from 2004 to 2009. She was elected to her seat in the 2004 general election.[1]
Nkabinde is the widow of Sifiso Nkabinde, a controversial politician in the Natal Midlands who joined the UDM after being expelled from the African National Congress (ANC). He was assassinated in Richmond, Kwa-Zulu-Natal in January 1999 and a local ANC politician was convicted of involvement in the murder.[2] Nkabinde herself entered politics the following year, when the UDM announced that she would stand for election as a local councillor in Richmond in the 2000 local elections.[3] [4]
