Stevens Mokgalapa (born 9 April 1977) is a South African politician who served as the Mayor of Tshwane from 2019 to 2020.

The DA Parliamentary leader, Athol Trollip, appointed him as Shadow Deputy Minister of International Relations and Co-operation.

After the 2014 elections, he took office as Shadow Minister of International Relations and Co-operation following his appointment by the new DA parliamentary leader, Mmusi Maimane.

In early-February 2019, Mokgalapa was selected by the DA's Federal Executive to be the party's Tshwane mayoral candidate.

On 12 February 2019, the Economic Freedom Fighters and the opposition African National Congress did not field any mayoral candidates and chose to abstain from the vote, therefore allowing Mokgalapa to be elected unopposed.

Before his address, the opposition African National Congress councillors staged a walkout from the council chamber.

[16][17] In November 2019, a controversial audio clip between Mokgalapa and Sheila Senkubuge, member of the mayoral committee (MMC) for roads and transport, was released.

[18] In response to the release of the recording, he laid charges of extortion and blackmail at the Brooklyn police station.

[23] He was voted out as mayor on 5 December 2019 in a motion of no confidence, though the Gauteng High Court later set aside all the decisions made at the sitting.
