Legislative career

edit

Mnguni was elected to the Free State Provincial Legislature in the 1999 general election[1] and served as chairperson of the provincial portfolio committee on finance until late June 2001, when the ANC announced a reshuffle of its legislative caucuses.[2] He resigned from the provincial legislature and was sworn in to the National Assembly on 3 July 2001, filling the seat of Beatrice Marshoff, who replaced him in the provincial legislature.[3]

In the next general election in 2004, Mnguni was elected to a full term in the National Assembly.[4] He served on the Portfolio Committee on Finance during the legislative term that followed.[5] In the 2009 general election, he was elected as one of the Free State's delegates to the National Council of Provinces, where, with Patekile Holomisa, he co-chaired Parliament's Joint Committee on Constitutional Review.[6][7]
