Legislative career
editIn the 2004 general election, Ntembe was elected to an ID seat in the National Assembly,[1] but she declined to accept it and Florence Batyi was sworn in instead.[2] Ntembe joined Parliament the following year, on 13 October 2005, when she was appointed to fill a casual vacancy in the ID's sole seat in the National Council of Provinces.[3]
At the end of the legislative term, she defected to the ACDP, and she was included on the ACDP's party list in the 2009 general election; although she was its top-ranked candidate for election to the Northern Cape caucus of the National Assembly,[4] the party did not win any seats in the caucus and Ntembe was not elected.
