Agnes Christin Mashishi (born 11 March 1961)[1] 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

[edit]

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.[2] Mashishi filled the seat vacated by former Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka.[3] 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.[4] She did not stand for re-election in 2014.[4]
