Mufamadi must have been one of the activists in mind when the expression about the problem of "wearing too many hats" became popular in the early '90s, at which point he was equally active in the ANC, COSATU and the SACP.
In 1988 Mufamadi was placed under 14 days' house arrest when he was co-ordinator of the Anti-Apartheid Conference which was intended to mobilise and unify the broadest range of forces against the state of emergency and repression in general.
Mufamadi was appointed Minister of Safety and Security in the government of national unity in 1994, after having served on the sub-council on law and order of the Transitional Executive Council.
