Parliamentary career

Skosana was elected to the National Assembly of South Africa in the 2024 general election for the UMkhonto weSizwe Party. His wife, former Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, was also re-elected to parliament for the Economic Freedom Fighters at the election. [1] They served together until Mkhwebane resigned from the EFF and consequently parliament in October 2024. [2]

In October 2024, Public Protector Kholeka Gcaleka claimed that Skosana had threatened the CEO of the institution, Thandi Sibanyoni. Daily Maverick reported that Skosana was a cyber bully who had previously threatened numerous people, including the late-former cabinet minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson as well as News24 journalist Karyn Maughan.
