Gigaba has returned to the Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture where he is giving evidence related to his special adviser Siyabonga Mahlangu's alleged involvement in the appointment of executives and board members at SOEs.
Chairperson of the commission, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, said that Mahlangu's role was not what he would have expected from an adviser. Justice Zondo put it to Gigaba that Mahlangu's actions were done on his behalf and executives would feel compelled to oblige because he was the minister’s adviser. According to Gigaba, there was never a time where he would "put words in people's mouths" or give an instruction to someone to be rude on his behalf.
Mzimela said Mahlangu was “very involved” in SAA affairs “which was unusual of an adviser”. She said Mahlangu also had special interest in an IT tender. Gigaba said he was not aware of this.
