Tokozile Xasa (born 28 April 1965) is a South African politician who was the Minister of Sport and Recreation from February 2018 to May 2019. Before that, she was the Minister of Tourism from March 2017 to February 2018. A member of the National Assembly between 2009 and 2019, she took office as South African Ambassador to Belgium in February 2021.
A teacher by profession, Xasa was a member of the Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature between 2001 and 2009; during that period, she also held three different portfolios in the Executive Council of the Eastern Cape. She joined the National Assembly and national government after the April 2009 general election, named by President Jacob Zuma to a newly created ministry as Deputy Minister of Tourism. She served in that position until March 2017, when she was promoted to become minister in the same portfolio. Zuma's successor, President Cyril Ramaphosa, initially retained Xasa in his cabinet as Minister of Sport and Recreation from February 2018. However, she was excluded from Ramaphosa's second cabinet and resigned from the National Assembly shortly after the May 2019 general election.
Xasa is a member of the African National Congress (ANC) and served on the ANC National Executive Committee from December 2017 to December 2022. She is also a former spokesperson of the ANC Women's League.
