## Political career

Born on 16 September 1954, Dambuza has been a member of the ANC since 1980. She was the treasurer of the party's regional branch in Sisonke, KwaZulu-Natal from 1998 to 2005. During that period, she was elected to the National Assembly for the first time in the 2004 general election, serving the KwaZulu-Natal constituency. She was re-elected to a second term in 2009, now on the ANC's national party list; during her second term, she also chaired Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Human Settlements.

Dambuza did not initially win a third term in the 2014 general election. However, she was sworn back in to the assembly on 14 October 2016 to fill the casual vacancy arising from Bonisile Nesi death. She remained in the seat until the 2019 general election and represented the Eastern Cape constituency.
