Jillian Bam

Jillian Nomancube Bam is a South African politician who represented the African National Congress in the National Assembly during the first democratic Parliament. Though not initially elected in the 1994 general election, she was sworn in to a seat during the legislative term.
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. Although she protested that she had not intended to defect to the UDM, she was expelled from the ANC. She was ranked 22nd on the UDM's national party list and failed to gain re-election.
