Magome Masike

Masike was formerly the Mayor of Matlosana Local Municipality in the North West; after he resigned, he was succeeded in the mayoral office by China Dodovu.^[2] At the time of the 2009 general election, he was working as a businessman^[2] and he was not initially elected to a legislative seat.^[3] However, in early November 2010, the ANC amended its provincial party list for the North West, installing Masike near the top and thereby enabling him to join the North West Provincial Legislature if casual vacancies arose.^[2]

On 25 November 2010, newly elected North West Premier Thandi Modise announced that he would join the North West Executive Council as Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Health.^[4][5] He remained in that portfolio throughout Modise's premiership. In the 2014 general election, he was ranked fourth on the ANC's party list and secured election to a full term in the provincial legislature; he was also reappointed as MEC for Health by Modise's successor, Premier Supra Mahumapelo.^[6]

In 2018, Mahumapelo was replaced by Job Mokgoro, who initially retained Mahumapelo's Executive Council; however, in his first reshuffle on 6 December 2018, Mokgoro fired Masike, replacing him with Madoda Sambatha.^[1] Masike did not stand for re-election to the provincial legislature in the 2019 general election.^[7]
