Pendukeni "Penny" Iivula-Ithana (born 11 October 1952) is a Namibian politician who served as the secretary general of SWAPO, Namibia's ruling party, from 2007 to 2012. She was a member of the Constituent Assembly of Namibia in 1989 and has been a member of Parliament and member of cabinet since independence in 1990.[1]
Iivula-Ithana served in several ministerial positions over three decades. Her last ministerial post was in the interior ministry. After criticising the sitting president Hage Geingob and other senior political leaders in November 2017 she was dismissed from cabinet. She also lost her parliamentary seat at the end of the 2015–2020 legislative period.
