When he presented his credentials on 5 April 2011, he became the first Resident Ambassador from South Africa. He was also the South African ambassador to the Comoros from 2004 to 2010.

During apartheid, Mabeta was a member of the African National Congress. He left South Africa to go into exile in 1980, and in 1985 he graduated from Harvard University with a thesis titled Conflict Resolution in Zimbabwe: The Role of the United States of America. He later joined the United Democratic Movement, which he represented in the National Assembly before he joined the diplomatic service.
