Molefi David "Dakota" Legoete (born 1 June 1972) is a South African politician and political strategist from the North West.
[5] Legoete, unlike Kegakilwe, was viewed as a political ally of Supra Mahumapelo, the incumbent ANC Provincial Chairperson.
[9] According to the Daily Maverick, as Provincial Secretary Legoete was instrumental in obstructing the efforts of Dlamini-Zuma's opponent, Cyril Ramaphosa, to campaign in the North West.
[11] In February 2018, the ANC announced that Legoete would be employed full-time at Luthuli House, the party's national headquarters in Johannesburg, as deputy head of the organising department; in that capacity he deputised Senzo Mchunu and worked closely with the office of ANC Secretary-General Ace Magashule.
[21] Although Mchunu was replaced by Nomvula Mokonyane by 2020,[22] Legoete remained in the deputy head of organising role until the end of the NEC's term in December 2022.
[24] In March 2024 he returned to Luthuli House, now employed in the ANC's communications unit under spokeswoman Mahlengi Bhengu.
