Weziwe Tikana

On 16 August 2022, Mabuyane reshuffled his executive council and removed Tikana as the MEC for Transport, Safety and Liaison due to her support for Babalo Madikizela, his contender for provincial chairperson at the ANC's provincial elective conference in May 2022.

In March 2021, acting Public Protector Kholeka Gcaleka found that there was no improper conduct by Tikana in relation to the procurement of her daughter's lodge as a COVID-19 quarantine site.

In June 2020, Tikana lost a court case in which she wanted the United Democratic Movement (UDM) leader, Bantu Holomisa to retract a tweet raising concerns over a guest house, which is in her daughter's name, that the provincial government decided to use a COVID-19 isolation facility. Judge Gerald Bloem found it likely that Tikana was the owner or held a benefit in the Mioca Lodge in Cala.

In 2014 Tikana was elected as a member of the Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature. She was then appointed as the Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Transport, Safety and Liaison by premier Phumulo Masualle. Tikana was re-elected to another term in the legislature in 2019. She remained in her position as MEC for Transport, Safety and Liaison following Oscar Mabuyane's election as premier. She is the only member of Masualle's executive to be appointed to Mabuyane's executive.

Weziwe Tikana (born 3 November 1967) is a South African politician, educator and trade unionist. She was the Eastern Cape MEC for Transport, Safety and Liaison from 2014 until 2022.
