Legislative career

In the 2014 general election, Motlhabane was ranked 30th on the ANC's provincial party list and was not immediately elected to a seat in the North West Provincial Legislature, [1] but he was later sworn in to fill a casual vacancy in the ANC caucus. On 8 May 2016, North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo appointed him to the North West Executive Council as MEC for Community Safety and Transport Management. He replaced Saliva Molapisi and at the time of his appointment was the chairperson of the North West branch of the SACP. [2]

He was retained in the Community Safety and Transport Management portfolio by Job Mokgoro, who succeeded Mahumapelo as Premier in 2018, [3] but he was ranked 24th on the ANC's provincial party list in the 2019 general election and therefore was not re-elected to his legislative seat. [1]
