In a government that has been tainted by various scandals from some of its very high political office holders, Malusi Gigaba appears to be no different than his colleagues even though he was once hailed as a breath of fresh air. The South African politician, who has served as Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, Minister of Public Enterprises, Minister of Finance, and Minister of Home Affairs of The Republic of South Africa, has been embroiled in more than a few controversies, some of which have made the headlines of blogs and led to parliamentary hearings.<\/p>\n
As mentioned above, Malusi Gigaba is a South African politician. Born Knowledge Malusi Nkanyei Gigaba, the former minister of Home Affairs began his journey to the top of South African politics through his involvement with multiple student organizations, including the South African Youth Congress (SAYCO), Young Christian Students (YCS), Congress of South African Students (COSAS), and South African Student Congress (SASCO).<\/p>\n
Gigaba’s participation with these groups laid the groundwork for his involvement with the African National Congress Youth League as most of the student and youth organizations in the country were aligned with the African National Congress (ANC) which was at the time banned. Following the unbanning of the ANC Youth League in 1990, he joined the group that went on to elect him as president three times in a row (1996, 1998, and 2001).<\/p>\n
In 1991, Malusi Gigaba was first elected to the National Assembly of South Africa as a Member of Parliament for the African National Congress. Despite resigning in 2001, he was again elected to the body in 2004, becoming Deputy Minister of Home Affairs soon after. He held the position until November 2010 when he was made the Minister of Public Enterprises. Gigaba served as Public Enterprises minister from then until May 2014 when he was moved to the helm of the Home Affairs ministry.<\/p>\n
