Life and career

Before she joined frontline politics, she worked for thirteen years in various capacities at the City of Tshwane, including as the mayoral advisor on youth development.

At the ANC's provincial elective conference in June 2018, Diale-Tlabela was elected to the Provincial Executive Committee of the party's Gauteng branch.[2] [3] In the general election the following year, she was elected to the Gauteng Provincial Legislature, having been ranked 19th on the ANC's list.[4] She was appointed chair of the Co-operative Governance & Traditional Affairs & Human Settlement Portfolio Committee upon her swearing in.[5]

In June 2022, Diale-Tlabela was re-elected to the ANC Provincial Executive Committee as deputy provincial chairman Panyaza Lesufi was elected the party's provincial chairman.[6] She also serves as a member of the party's Provincial Working Committee (PWC). After incumbent Gauteng premier David Makhura was recalled by the ANC, Diale was one of three names the Provincial Executive Committee recommended to the national ANC structure to succeed Makhura.[7] Lesufi was ultimately selected to replace Makhura in October 2022. Following his election as premier, Lesufi announced his executive council which saw Diale-Tlabela appointed Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Transport and Logistics.[8] [9] She was appointed MEC for Roads and Transport in July 2024.[10]
