David Ditlaishego Dube (born 14 October 1960 in Lydenburg) is a South African politician and the author of Al Capones of Mpumalanga.
Dube was one of the executives of the provincial Human Settlements Department that included Peter Nyoni and Bongani Bongo who David Mabuza refused to renew their contracts in 2013.
Mabuza who was Premier of Mpumalanga then said the reason for not renewing the contracts was because the three focused too much on politics and failed to deliver services to the poor.
He threw the hat in the ring again in 2022 but didn't receive enough votes to stand for nomination, leading to the conference to be a two-way race between Mandla Ndlovu and Lucky Ndinisa.
Others of his qualifications include a master's degree in Public Administration from the University of Pretoria (2005), BA honours (education) from Nelson Mandela Bay University (2002), Tech Degree in Education Management as well as other qualifications in local government, project management, training and co-councillor training.
