Biography

Bans was born in Murraysburg in the previous Cape Province. She holds a degree from the University of the Western Cape. She was employed in the local economic development sector of the Central Karoo for about twelve years.[1]

Bans has served the African National Congress and its women's league in different positions, including as the regional deputy secretary and the regional treasurer. She was also the party's regional elections manager.[1]

She placed 13th on the ANC's candidate list for the Western Cape Provincial Parliament for the May 2019 election. She was initially not elected but Ebrahim Rasool declined his seat on the day the new provincial parliament was sworn in. The party selected Bans to fill the seat and she was sworn in on 23 May 2019.[2]
