When the Presidency announced Majola's appointment in February 2022, it said it followed Ramaphosa's undertaking in the state of the nation address to fill critical vacancies in the service.
Majola is a former deputy minister of energy and was South Africa’s ambassador to Senegal, Mauritania, Cape Verde, Gambia and Guinea-Bissau.
She has held several positions in the Presidency and was a deputy co-ordinator in the National Intelligence Co-ordinating Committee.
Among other roles, Majola was the observer on behalf of Ramaphosa to the trilateral negotiations on the Grand Renaissance Dam during South Africa’s tenure as chair of the AU in 2020.
