Political career

Majola represented the ANC in the provincial legislature from 2009 to 2014,[1] but in the 2014 general election was ranked 56th on the ANC's provincial party list and did not initially secure re-election to a seat.[2] She subsequently worked as a senior manager in the provincial Department of Health until 30 June 2016, when she was sworn back in to the legislature to fill a casual vacancy. She and Sifiso Sonjica replaced Mike Mabuyakhulu and Peggy Nkonyeni, who had resigned from their legislative seats after being sacked from the KwaZulu-Natal Executive Council.[1]

She was re-elected to a full term in the legislature in the 2019 general election, ranked 32nd on the ANC's party list.[2] In July 2022, she was elected to a four-year term on the Provincial Executive Committee of the ANC's KwaZulu-Natal branch.[3] After her re-election in 2019 a notable incident occurred during her tenure in which a man by the name of Harold Belynchian threw his sandwich which he was saving for lunch at majola in protest of her remarks surrounding the overhaul of traffic signs.[4]
