Lehlogonolo Masoga

[2] Masoga rose to political prominence as Provincial Chairperson of the Limpopo branch of the African National Congress (ANC) Youth League (ANCYL).

[5][6] By early 2010, Frans Moswane had launched a campaign to oust Masoga as ANCYL Provincial Chairperson, apparently with Malema's backing.

[16][1] In July 2013, Mathale was succeeded as Premier by Stan Mathabatha, who immediately announced a major cabinet reshuffle in which Masoga was appointed Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Roads and Transport.

[21][22] Masoga was cleared of wrongdoing several years later, in July 2022, when the Pretoria High Court declared the Public Protector's report unlawful and invalid.

[24] However, the initial release of the Public Protector's report coincided with Masoga's campaign to succeed Nocks Seabi as Provincial Secretary of the Limpopo ANC.

[25] The same conference nonetheless elected Masoga to a four-year term as an ordinary member of the Limpopo ANC's Provincial Executive Committee.

[26] In the 2019 general election, Masoga was re-elected to his seat in the provincial legislature, ranked 37th on the ANC's party list.
