Priscilla Sindisiwe Sekgobela (born 11 May 1957) is a South African politician from Mpumalanga who belongs to the African National Congress (ANC). She was elected to the National Assembly in 1994 and served Mpumalanga, being re-elected in 1999 and 2004. She worked as a party whip until August 2007, when the ANC demoted her amid the Travelgate travel-vouchers scandal; she signed an acknowledgement of debt to Parliament but was cleared of related criminal fraud charges. She left Parliament after the 2009 election, then briefly returned from January to May 2014 to fill a casual vacancy following Crosby Moni’s death, before leaving again after the May 2014 election.
