While the Public Protector’s report cleared MalusiGigaba of some wrongdoing, it lambasted him for failing to submit a list of all people naturalised under exceptional circumstances. PublicProtector

Johannesburg - Former Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba has spoken out and expressed his anger that he was forced out of his ministerial post over the Gupta naturalisation saga.

“I take this opportunity to welcome the report of the public protector which clears me of the unfounded allegations which were, partly, relied upon to hound me out of government in November 2018. I shall not be commenting further on the contents of this report until I have consulted with my lawyers,” Gigaba said.

During the course of the investigation, the public protector highlighted the fact that Naledi Pandor was the Minister of Home Affairs from 2012 to 2014 while Gigaba served as Minister of Home Affairs from 2014 to 2017 and from February 2018 until his resignation in November 2018. “The information obtained during the investigation indicates that the former minister exercised his discretion in terms of section 5 of the act, to waive the requirements set out in section 5 following him taking into consideration the motivation submitted by officials of the department, who were responsible for processing the early naturalisation application of the Gupta family,” read a part of the findings.
