Former Finance, Home Affairs and Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba, now the co-chair of parliament’s Joint Standing Committee on Defence, will appear in court on Friday over procurement irregularities at state-owned logistics firm Transnet.
In a statement issued early on Friday by his private office, Gigaba said he had been informed by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) that he was “required to attend court on 7 November 2025, where he will be formally charged in connection with the ongoing proceedings related to procurement activities at Transnet SOC Ltd”.
Gigaba said he would cooperate with the process.
“I respect the processes of our constitutional democracy and will continue to cooperate fully with the legal system as it performs its duties. My conscience is clear regarding my conduct in office — my actions have always been guided by policy, process, and the values of accountability and service,” Gigaba said.
