Gigaba to appear in court over Transnet procurement irregularities


Former Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba says he will cooperate fully with the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) as he prepare to appear in court in connection with alleged procurement irregularities at Transnet SOC Limited.

The NPA has confirmed that Gigaba has been formally charged following investigations into Transnet’s multi-billion-rand locomotive contracts.

Gigaba, who was named during the State Capture Commission of Inquiry, maintains that his role in the procurement process was non-executive and guided by due process.

He has reiterated his confidence in South Africa’s legal system and commitment to the rule of law.
