Political career

Nxangisa is a member of the African National Congress. For the provincial election on 8 May 2019, he was placed 8th on the ANC's provincial list.[1] The ANC managed to win 19 seats in the provincial legislature and Nxangisa was sworn in as an MPL, when the legislature reconvened on 22 May 2019.[2]

On 28 May, premier Sisi Ntombela announced her new Executive Council for the sixth administration. She appointed Nxangisa MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs. He was sworn in later that same day.[3][4]

On 1 October 2021, Nxangisa was appointed as MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development by Ntombela.[5] On 14 March 2023, Nxangisa was removed as MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development and excluded from the executive council entirely by newly elected premier Mxolisi Dukwana; Saki Mokoena was appointed to succeed Nxangisa.[6]
