Legislative career edit

Malaza served a single term in the provincial legislature, having been elected to his seat in the 2014 general election, ranked 21st on the ANC's provincial party list.[1] Towards the end of the legislative term, in March 2018, Refilwe Mtsweni-Tsipane took office as Premier of Mpumalanga after David Mabuza resigned. In a reshuffle announced by Mtsweni-Tsipane shortly after her inauguration, Malaza was appointed to the Mpumalanga Executive Council as MEC for Education.[2] He held that office for just over a year: in the 2019 general election, he was ranked 24th on the ANC's party list and failed to gain re-election to the provincial legislature, and he therefore dropped out of the Executive Council.[1]

As of 2021, Malaza was the acting municipal manager at Msukaligwa Local Municipality in Mpumalanga.[3]
