Before he was sworn into parliament in 2019, Sokatsha had been a member of the Northern Cape provincial legislature for more than 16 years. During that time, he served under Premier Slyvia Lucas as the MEC for Social Development and later on for Health.
Sokatsha was an educated person, something you don’t normally associate with politicians, he was a qualified teacher, but he also acquired some certificates in Accounting.

Although the details of his accident are unknown, it’s impossible to rule out the likelihood that potholes on our roads contributed to his death.
Our roads are in poor condition in some locations, and the Ministry of Transport has been under fire for failing to maintain the road infrastructure.

It is with great sadness to hear about the passing of Mr Mxolisi Sokatsha, a Member of Parliament, URCSA Theology Student, & family man. When I was preaching at Hanover during the resurrection Sunday, he was interpreting my sermon. I also shared Communion with him.
RIP Brother🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/QO2pO82sGR— Sipho Mahokoto (@SiphoMahokoto) March 26, 2022
