Vhambelani Edward Ramabulana (1929/1930 – 28 July 2022)[1] was a South African politician and Venda traditional leader. He was the leader of the tribal authority in Ha-Maelula, a village in Makhado, Limpopo, about 30 kilometres northeast of Louis Trichardt.[2] He was also a member of the Sinthumule tribal council.[1]

Ramabulana represented the African National Congress (ANC) in the National Assembly during the first democratic Parliament. He was not initially elected in the 1994 general election[3] but joined during the legislative term, filling a casual vacancy.[4] He did not stand for re-election in 1999.[5] He died on 28 July 2022 at his home in Maelula after a long illness.[1]
