Molapisi is from the region that, in the post-apartheid era, became the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality.[1] He was first appointed to the North West Executive Council after the May 2014 general election, in which he was ranked 22nd on the ANC's party list;[2] newly elected Premier Supra Mahumapelo appointed him MEC for Community Safety and Transport Management.[3] However, less than two years later, on 8 May 2016, Mahumapelo fired him.[4] He remained an ordinary Member of the North West Provincial Legislature.[2][4]

He returned to the Executive Council under Mahumapelo's successor, Job Mokgoro, who appointed him MEC for Department of Public Works and Roads in a reshuffle announced on 6 December 2018.[5][6] After the 2019 general election, in which Molapisi was ranked 19th on the ANC's party list,[2] Mokgoro reappointed him to the same portfolio in his new Executive Council.[1][7] In August 2022, Molapisi was elected to the Provincial Executive Committee of the ANC's branch in the North West.[8]
