Mashego is a former deputy president of the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union and a former member of the organisation's provincial executive committee in Gauteng. He also served as the chairperson and as the deputy chairperson of the South African Communist Party in Ekurhuleni.[1]
Parliamentary career
Mashego was elected to the National Assembly in the 2019 general election from the ANC's Gauteng list.[2][3] He served on the Portfolio Committee on Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation.
During a virtual committee meeting in April 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa, Mashego was criticised for joking that fellow ANC MP Enock Mthethwa's Zoom background, which mainly consisted of whiskey bottles, was making him "thirsty" at a time the sale of alcoholic beverages were prohibited by the national government.[4]
In August 2021, the ANC announced that Mashego would be taking up the role as chairperson of the newly established Portfolio Committee on Water and Sanitation.[5][6] He was elected unopposed on 31 August.[7]
