Ndalane was born in June 1963 in Elim in Vhembe in present-day Limpopo province. [1] In the final years of apartheid,she worked in community development at a local non-governmental organisation called Akanani. [2] During the first post-apartheid elections in 1994,she served as a party agent on the winning campaign of the African National Congress (ANC),and she was subsequently elected as a local councillor in the Vuwani–Hlanganani Transitional Local Council. [2]
Ndalane was first elected as a Member of the Limpopo Provincial Legislature in the 1999 general election. [2] While serving in the legislature,she rose through the ranks of the local ANC,becoming Deputy Regional Chairperson and later,from 2007, [3] Regional Treasurer of the ANC's branch in Vhembe. [2] In the fourth session of the Limpopo Provincial Legislature –following the 2009 general election,in which Ndalane was re-elected to her seat ranked 18th on the ANC's party list [4] –she chaired the legislature's committee on sports,arts and culture. [5] [2]
In the 2014 general election,Ndalane was re-elected,on that occasion ranked 39th on the ANC's party list. [5] She was also appointed to the Limpopo Executive Council by Stan Mathabatha,who had been elected to his first full term as Premier of Limpopo;she became Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Sports,Arts and Culture. [6] She held that position until a cabinet reshuffle on 15 September 2016,when she was moved to the Transport,Safety and Security portfolio.
