Agnes Mashishi

Agnes Christin Mashishi (born 11 March 1961) is a South African politician who represented the African National Congress (ANC) in the National Assembly from 2008 to 2014. From 2009 onwards, she served the Limpopo constituency.

Legislative career

Mashishi was sworn in to the National Assembly on 31 October 2008 following a large wave of resignations in the ANC caucus, occasioned by the resignation of President Thabo Mbeki. Mashishi filled the seat vacated by former Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka. In the next general election in 2009, she was elected to a full term in the assembly, now in the Limpopo caucus rather than off the national party list. She did not stand for re-election in 2014.
