Duarte passed away in the early hours of Sunday, 17 July.
Duarte was undergoing treatment for cancer and had been on medical leave since November 2021.
The party said the passing of Comrade Jessie is a great loss, not only to the family, but to the democratic movement and the country as a whole. It added that as a committed internationalist and former diplomat, not only will be be mourned by South Africa, but by colleagues and comrades on the African continent and in the international progressive movement
