Legislative career
In the 2009 general election, Mncube was elected to represent the ANC as a Delegate to the NCOP. She served as the whip of the Gauteng caucus in the NCOP. After a full term in the NCOP, she was elected to a seat in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature in the 2014 general election, ranked 41st on the ANC's provincial party list.
In the next general election in 2019, she was ranked 38th on the ANC's provincial party list and therefore did not initially secure re-election to one of the party's 37 seats in the provincial legislature. However, she later joined the legislature to fill a casual vacancy. As of 2022, she was a member of the legislature's Portfolio Committee on Economic Development, Environment, Agriculture, and Rural Development and headed the ANC's parliamentary constituency office in Alexandra, Gauteng.
