Jabulani Nobleman “Mzala” Nxumalo OLS (27 October 1955 – 22 February 1991) was a South African anti-apartheid activist, intellectual, and author.
Nxumalo held significant importance to the anti-apartheid movement. Nxumalo also played heavy roles in the African National Congress (ANC), Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) and the South African Communist Party (SACP) while in exile. During Nxumalo's exile, he would serve liberation movements in Swaziland (now Eswatini), Angola, Mozambique, Tanzania, and the United Kingdom. During this time Nxumalo would write plenty of books, all still subject to heavy debate, about South African revolutionary theory. Nxumalo would pass while in London, United Kingdom in 1991 at the age of 35.
