In June, Masilela led the donation of goods, including a new bed, stove, fridge and groceries, to six families in the village of Katjibane situated near Marapyane in the JS Moroka Local Municipality.
Masilela was elected speaker of the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature in March after the previous speaker, Busisiwe Shiba, was appointed as the MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs.
