Lebogang Isaac Maile (born 26 December 1979) is a South African politician serving as the Gauteng MEC (Member of the Executive Council) for Human Settlements and Infrastructure Development since October 2022. He has been a Member of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature since May 2009.
He was the MEC for Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation between November 2010 and May 2014, the MEC for Economic Development from May 2014 until May 2019 as well as the MEC for Human Settlements, Urban Planning and Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs from May 2019 up until October 2022. Maile is a member of the African National Congress and a former provincial leader of the party's youth league. He also served as the head of Congress of South African Students.
Early life and education
Maile was born on 26 December 1979. He obtained a certificate in intergovernmental relations and a diploma in public relations.[1] In April 2017, he graduated from the University of the Witwatersrand with a qualification in leadership and governance.[2]
Political career
From 1996 to 2000, Maile served as the president of the Congress of South African Students.[1] He was chair of the Gauteng Youth Commission between 2006 and 2009.[3] After the 2009 election, he was nominated to the Gauteng Provincial Legislature as an African National Congress representative. He was assigned to the legislature's education, finance and scrutiny of subordinate committees.[3]
Maile was later elected provincial chairperson of the African National Congress Youth League in August 2010.[4][5] In November of the same year, premier Nomvula Mokonyane appointed him the MEC for Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation.[6] The following year, Maile was considered a contender for the post of national president of the ANC Youth League.[7] He declined the nomination at the league's conference in June 2011, allowing incumbent Julius Malema to be re-elected unopposed.[8]
Following his re-election as an MPL in May 2014, newly elected premier David Makhura moved him to the Economic Development portfolio of the Executive Council.[9] Maile stood down as the youth league's provincial chairperson in August 2014. After the 2019 Gauteng provincial election, Makhura appointed him MEC for Human Settlements, Urban Planning and Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs.[10]
On 7 October 2022, Maile was appointed by the newly elected Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi as the MEC for the newly created Human Settlements and Infrastructure Development portfolio.[11]
Personal life
Maile is a Pedi and a polyglot.[12] He is also married.[13]
