Legislative career
Mashile joined the National Assembly on 14 May 2004, filling a seat in the Limpopo constituency that had initially been designated for Mninwa Mahlangu; Mahlangu joined the NCOP instead.[2] After one term in the seat, Mashile moved to the NCOP after the 2009 general election. In the NCOP, he was a member of the Mpumalanga caucus, and he was elected as co-chairperson of Parliament's Joint Committee on Ethics and Members' Interests; he served alongside the National Assembly's Luwellyn Landers and later Ben Turok.[3][4]
In the 2014 general election, Mashile returned to the National Assembly on the ANC's national party list.[5] The ANC nominated him to chair the Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs.[6] In May 2018, in a reshuffle of the ANC's parliamentary caucus, he replaced Fezeka Loliwe as chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Labour.[7] He held the latter position until the 2019 general election, when he vacated his legislative seat.[5]
