Shortly after her election as Premier of the North West in November 2010, Modise announced a major cabinet reshuffle in which Sebegoe was appointed Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Local Government and Traditional Affairs.[1][2] He remained in that position until the next cabinet reshuffle, announced on 3 May 2012, in which he was appointed MEC for Finance.[3][4] In the 2014 general election, Sebegoe was ranked 28th on the ANC's party list and lost his seat in the provincial legislature and in the Executive Council.[5] During his hiatus from the legislature, he remained a member of the ANC and the allied South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO); by 2018, he was the Provincial Chairperson of SANCO in the North West.[6]
In the 2019 general election, Sebegoe returned to the North West Provincial Legislature, ranked 13th on the ANC's party list.[5] The ANC appointed him its Chief Whip in the provincial legislature.[7] In 2022, he ran unsuccessfully for election as Deputy Provincial Chairperson of the North West ANC: at the party's provincial elective conference in August, he lost narrowly to Lazzy Mokgosi, the running mate of the winning candidate for Provincial Chairperson, Nono Maloyi.[8] He received 311 votes against the 353 received by Mokgosi.[9]
