Thokozani Makhosonke Langa is a South African politician who was elected to the National Assembly of South Africa in the 2019 general election as a member of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party.[1][2]

Langa was an alternate member of the Portfolio Committee on Mineral Resources and Energy; he had previously served as a member of the Portfolio Committee on Small Business Development.[3]

In March 2021, Langa was one of fourteen EFF MPs who the Power and Privileges Committee of Parliament recommended a sanction of a fine not exceeding the equivalent of one month's salary and allowances for disrupting Minister Pravin Gordhan's budget vote speech on 11 July 2019.[4]

Langa resigned from Parliament with effect from 3 February 2023.

On 10 March 2023, Langa was welcomed into the Inkatha Freedom Party after he had resigned from the EFF. Langa accused the EFF of being a corrupt and ungovernable party.[5]
