Phumeza Mpushe

Mpushe was elected to the Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature in the 2014 provincial election as a member of the African National Congress.^[1] On 27 February 2018, she was appointed as acting chairperson of the public works committee.^[2]

Mpushe was twentieth on the ANC's list of parliamentary candidates from the Eastern Cape for the 2019 general election.^[3][4] She did not win a seat at the election, due to the ANC's electoral performance in the Eastern Cape.^[5]

Following the death of Eastern ANC MP Zamuxolo Peter in July 2020, the ANC selected Mpushe to take up his seat in the National Assembly.^[6] She was sworn in on 14 August 2020. Mpushe served on the Portfolio Committee on Tourism and the Standing Committee on Auditor General.^[7]

Mpushe was ranked 22nd on the ANC's regional to national list in the 2024 general election which was too low to secure re-election.^[8]
