Mokgethi Kabelo Mogatosi is a South African politician who was elected to the Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature in the 2024 provincial election as a member of the Democratic Alliance.

Political career

Mogatosi was involved with the Democratic Alliance Student Organisation's successful Student representative council campaign at the University of Fort Hare in 2015.[1] In January 2016, Mogatosi was sworn in as a Democratic Alliance councillor in Nelson Mandela Bay.[2] He became chief whip of the DA caucus in the metro in 2019.[2]

Mogatosi was re-elected to council in the 2021 local government elections.[3] When a DA-led coalition took over the metro in September 2022, he was named member of the Mayoral Committee for Roads and Transport.[4] He became the MMC for Budget and Treasury in March 2023, however, he did not serve in that position for long, as the DA-led administration was removed in a motion of no confidence in May 2023.[5][6][7]

In March 2024, two months ahead of the 2024 national and provincial elections, Mogatosi was announced as a DA candidate for the elections.[8] He was elected to the Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature in the provincial election.[9]
