Makgalong-Mashigo completed undergraduate teaching degrees at the University of the North (1988) and the University of Durban-Westville (1990) and worked as a high school teacher from 1990 until 1995.[1] In August of that year,[1] she joined the National Assembly, the lower house of the South African Parliament, filling a casual vacancy in the ANC's caucus.[2] During her term, she completed a Master of Public Administration at the University of the Western Cape in 1998.[1]
