Petrus Zanemvula "Pat" Matosa is a South African politician from the Free State. He represented the African National Congress (ANC) in the National Assembly from 1997 to 1999 and before that in the Free State Provincial Legislature from 1994 to 1997. His career as a public representative was cut short when he was convicted of the attempted murder of a traffic cop, though his conviction was later overturned.
Matosa was the Provincial Chairperson of the Free State ANC from 1994 to 1997 and later served as its Provincial Secretary from 2002 to 2005 and as Deputy Provincial Chairperson from 2005 to 2008. For much of that period, he was viewed as a close ally of Ace Magashule. During apartheid, he spent several years on Robben Island for his activities with Umkhonto we Sizwe.
