Hogan served the new post-Apartheid Parliament of the Republic of South Africa as an ANC Member of Parliament and as the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Finance. She was also a council member of the Robben Island Museum.

The records on the relationship between the ANC and the United Democratic Front (UDF) document the period 1985 - when a state of emergency was declared by the Apartheid government - and 1990 when outlawed oppositional movements were unbanned and Nelson Mandela was released.

An in-depth understanding of this period as well as the nature of the relationship between the ANC and the UDF can be reached by consulting the main UDF collection (AL 2431) that covers the period 1983 - 1991.
