Became MP 1999, resigned soon after for private business, later ANC treasurer-general

First democratically elected Premier of Mpumalanga (1994-1999). Removed from premiership in 1999 due to political infighting sparked by Mpumalanga Parks Board scandal. Chief accuser was James Nkambule (ANCYL leader who later admitted own involvement in MPB corruption). Phosa became MP but resigned to enter private business. Later served as ANC treasurer-general. Political casualty of accountability theater — corrupt accuser used to remove reform-minded premier.
