Parliamentary career

Tshabalala is a member of the African National Congress. She entered the National Assembly of South Africa on 19 October 2011 as a replacement for Noluthando Mayende-Sibiya.[1] During her first term, she was assigned to both the Standing Committee on Finance and the Portfolio Committee on Arts and Culture. In July 2013, she became a member of the ad hoc committee on the Appointment of the Auditor General. She was not elected to a full term in the 2014 general election, as she was ranked low on the ANC's regional-to-national list.[2]

In May 2019, Tshabalala was elected to return to the National Assembly.[3] As of June 2019, she is a member of the Portfolio Committee on Public Enterprises.[4]

Personal life

In February 2020, Tshabalala was hijacked at her home in Sebokeng. She was then taken hostage and dropped off unharmed in Eden Park, Alberton.[5]
