Career edit
Monama served as an ANC councillor of the Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality and the Sekhukhune District Municipality in the early 2000s.[1] He is currently a member of the ANC Provincial Executive Committee.
In October 2017, Monama, while serving as the deputy director-general of corporate services in the Limpopo provincial government, along with the deputy director-general of corporate services, Gregory Makoko, came under scrutiny for buying land in the Greater Tubatse Local Municipality at an inflated price.[2]
Limpopo Provincial Government edit
Monama was elected to the Limpopo Provincial Legislature in the 2019 general election, having been ranked 21st on the ANC's list.[3] In January 2022, Monama was appointed chairperson of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts in the legislature.[1]
Monamama was re-elected as a member of the ANC Provincial Executive Committee at the party's 10th provincial elective conference held in June 2022.[4] On 6 October 2022, re-elected ANC provincial chairperson and premier Stanley Mathabatha reshuffled his executive council less than three months after he initially reshuffled it following the provincial conference and appointed Monama as the Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Economic Development, Environment and Tourism.[5][6][7]
