Mashatile will now also handle all legal matters facing the party.
The ANC says it faces a number of legal challenges.
The party did not elaborate on the cases it faces but it's been at odds with suspended Secretary-General Ace Magashule and unpaid employees.
Mashatile now has powers to sign legal documents and instruct attorneys representing the ANC.
