Cape Town – Former public enterprises minister Malusi Gigaba has stepped aside from ANC activities while facing fraud and corruption charges related to Transnet locomotive tenders and alleged undisclosed payments from the Gupta family.
Despite stepping aside, Gigaba insists he remains loyal to the ANC.
“I am not taking interviews at this stage. But here are the facts. I’ve stepped aside voluntarily in full compliance of the resolutions of the 55th national conference and the ANC institution,” he said in a post on X.
“This is my own decision guided by revolutionary conscience and discipline on my part. My desire is always to enhance organisational integrity and my respect and love for my movement. The step-aside principle does not imply guilt on my side. It allows the legal process to continue without affecting the ANC.

“The matter before ADAC relates to an unproven allegation of an unsolicited benefit under schedule 1. It is not a procurement and no evidence of wrongdoing. I remain confident of the facts and continue to cooperate fully with the authorities.
“I will not comment or participate in internal ANC matters until this matter is finalised when it concludes, I stand ready to resume my duties.”
