Gauteng MEC for Infrastructure and Human Settlements Lebogang Maile launched an investigation into the company of Vice President Paul Mashatile’s son-in-law. Paul Shipokosa Mashatile is a South African politician who is the ninth Vice President of South Africa as of March 2023. He became Vice President of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) in December 2022. Mashatile was born on October 21, 1961 in Gerhardsville, in what it is now the city of Tshwane, Gauteng Province. In South Africa’s first democratic elections in 1994, he was elected to the Gauteng provincial legislature and became leader of the chamber. Mashatile has two sons and two daughters. His wife, Manzi Ellen Mashatile, died in July 2020. In November 2020, he launched the Manzi Mashatile Foundation to promote educational programs in his memory.

Who is Paul Mashatile’s son-in-law, Nceba Nonkwelo?
With vast government experience, Mashatile has previously held various government portfolios, serving as Minister for Arts and Culture, Premier of Gauteng and currently MEC for Human Settlements and Cooperative Governance. He is a former member of the Provincial Reception Committee for returned exiles and a former member of the Provincial Secretariat of the ANC PWV.
The report is about Mashatile living in a R37 million house bought by Nceba Nonkwelo, his son-in-law and his son, Thabiso. Furthermore, it was revealed that a company owned by Nonkwelo received loans from the Gauteng Partnership Fund of almost R30 million to build student accommodation that was never built.
Gauteng MEC for Infrastructure and Human Settlements Lebogang Maile ordered the Gauteng Partnership Fund (GPF) Board of Directors to carry out an immediate investigation into whether GPF has offered several loans spanning more than a decade to Nonkwelo Investments. On Wednesday morning, it was reported that Vice President Paul Mashatile lives in the R37 million house registered on a 99-year lease for inherited properties. Legacy’s directors are his son-in-law Nceba Nonkwelo and Mashatile’s son Thabiso, according to company records.
Between 2013 and 2017, Nonkwelo Investments received at least four GPF loans totaling almost R30 million, coinciding with Mashatile’s second term as MEC of human settlements. The loans were to develop a property in Highlands, Johannesburg, for student accommodation to be called Hunter Heights, Construction. However, it has not yet been completed. One of Mashatile’s biggest benefactors is Edwin Sodi, the politically connected businessman currently on trial on charges of fraud and corruption linked to a R255 million Free State asbestos eradication tender, along with former Free State Prime Minister, Ace Magashule, who was recently ousted from the ANC.
