Namane Dickson Masemola (born 1967 or 1968) is a South African politician who has been a Delegate to the National Council of Provinces since October 2022. Between 2009 and 2022, he was a Member of the Provincial Legislature in the Limpopo provincial government, representing the African National Congress (ANC), and held a variety of positions in the Limpopo Executive Council.
Masemola began his political career as Executive Mayor of his hometown, Sekhukhune District Municipality, from 2001 to 2009. From 2008 to 2013 he served under Cassel Mathale as Deputy Provincial Chairperson of the ANC in Limpopo. Simultaneously, he served in Mathale's government as Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Education. Under Mathale's successor, incumbent Premier Stan Mathabatha, Masemola was MEC for Public Works (2013–2014); MEC for Transport (2019–2020); MEC for Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure (2020–2022); and MEC for Social Development (2022).
In June 2022, Masemola campaigned unsuccessfully to depose Mathabatha as ANC Provincial Chairperson. Several months later, he was transferred to his current seat in the national Parliament.
