In April 2020, Mashego announced that she supports the reintroduction of the death penalty in South Africa.

In February 2020, the Sunday World newspaper reported that Mashego had resigned as provincial chairperson and a Member of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature. The EFF disputed this claim and Mashego later denied that she had resigned.

On 31 March 2020, Mashego resigned as EFF provincial chairperson and caucus leader of the party in the provincial legislature. Deputy chairperson Itani Mukwevho was named her successor. She also resigned as an MPL. She will, however, remain an EFF member.

In December 2019 at the EFF's national elective conference, Mashego opposed Marshall Dlamini for the post of Secretary-General. Her opposition to Dlamini caused tensions between her and party leader Julius Malema. Malema later suggested in a tweet, which caused speculation, that Mashego was planning on defecting to former Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba's party.

Mashego joined the African National Congress (ANC) while still a student. She left the ANC in 2012 and soon joined the EFF. She was elected a Member of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature in 2014 and the following year, she was appointed acting provincial chairperson of the EFF following the resignation of Zorro Boshielo. Mashego was elected provincial chairperson for a full term in 2018. She became the party's second elected female provincial chairperson.
