Buoang Lemias Mashile (born 17 December 1957)[1] is a South African politician who represented the African National Congress (ANC) in Parliament from 2004 to 2019. He served in the National Assembly for two non-consecutive terms from 2004 to 2009 and from 2014 to 2019. In the interim, he served in the Mpumalanga caucus of the National Council of Provinces (NCOP).

Legislative career[edit]

Mashile joined the National Assembly on 14 May 2004, filling a seat in the Limpopo constituency that had initially been designated for Mninwa Mahlangu; Mahlangu joined the NCOP instead.[2] After one term in the seat, Mashile moved to the NCOP after the 2009 general election. In the NCOP, he was a member of the Mpumalanga caucus, and he was elected as co-chairperson of Parliament's Joint Committee on Ethics and Members' Interests; he served alongside the National Assembly's Luwellyn Landers and later Ben Turok.[3][4]

In the 2014 general election, Mashile returned to the National Assembly on the ANC's national party list.[5] The ANC nominated him to chair the Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs.[6] In May 2018, in a reshuffle of the ANC's parliamentary caucus, he replaced Fezeka Loliwe as chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Labour.[7] He held the latter position until the 2019 general election, when he vacated his legislative seat.[5]
