Moodley, 60, was a colleague and friend of struggle icon Steve Biko, and was sentenced to six years imprisonment in the 1970s, which he served on Robben Island.
According the South African History website, he was released from prison in 1981 and later became editor of a Maritzburg-based newspaper. He also served as member of the National Executive Committee of the Media Workers Association.
The ANC said in a statement that Moodley dedicated his life to the liberation of the South African people, and to the achievement of peace and justice in many other parts of the world.
He leaves behind his wife, Asha, and two children. A funeral service will be held, on Sunday, at the Clare Estate Crematorium.
