Nomasonto Evelyn Motaung (born 1985 or 1986) is a South African politician who was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the African National Congress in the 2019 national election.

Political career[]

In 2019, Motaung stood for election to the South African National Assembly as 84th on the ANC's national list.[1] She was elected to the National Assembly and was sworn in as a Member of Parliament on 22 May 2019.[2][3] At the age of 33, she was one of the youngest MPs elected at the election.[4] She serves on the Portfolio Committee on Trade and Industry.[5]

In May 2020, Motaung asked why there was so much "noise with journalists" when the lotteries commission claimed to be operating so efficiently.[6]

In April 2021, Motaung was named to the newly established African National Congress Youth League National Youth Task Team.[7][8]
