Life and career
[edit]Mogale was not initially elected to the National Assembly in the 2004 general election but was sworn in shortly after the election, taking up a seat that had been declined by Billy Nair.[1] He did not stand for re-election in 2009.[2]
Instead, in 2010, Mogale was elected as Executive Mayor of Matlosana Local Municipality after the incumbent, China Dodovu, resigned. He served in the mayoral office until the 2011 local elections.[3] Thereafter, he represented the ANC as a councillor in the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality, where he was serving at the time of his death.[4]
Mogale died on 22 March 2022 shortly after being diagnosed with cancer.[3]
