Lungi Annette Mnganga-Gcabashe (born 27 October 1960) is a South African politician from KwaZulu-Natal who represents the African National Congress (ANC) in the National Assembly. She has been the Deputy President of the ANC Women's League since July 2023.
Born in KwaMashu, Mnganga-Gcabashe was formerly a Member of the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Legislature from 1999 to 2004 and chaired the KwaZulu-Natal branch of the ANC Women's League from 2008 to 2012. She represented the ANC in the National Assembly between 2014 and 2019, and she chaired the Portfolio Committee on Public Enterprises from 2017 to 2019 during its inquiry into maladministration at Eskom.
Thereafter Mnganga-Gcabashe took a hiatus from legislative politics, serving instead as chief of staff in the office of Pemmy Majodina, the Chief Whip of the Majority Party. She returned to the National Assembly in the May 2024 general election and was elected as chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Tourism. She is currently a member of the ANC's National Executive Committee, having been elected to two non-consecutive five-year terms on the committee in 2012 and 2022.
