Even though Malusi Gigaba’s future as a minister hangs in the balance, he has shown no signs that he will go quietly.
The controversial newsmaker has dared his detractors to charge him with perjury for lying under oath and calling SA’s richest family, the Oppenheimers, dishonest liars reports Sunday Times.
Gigaba has long been the subject of many a controversial news report but this past week’s “sex scandal” and the revelations made in the public protectors report on the Fireblade Aviation matter could be the final blows to his ministerial career.
Apart from the occasional statement and tweet, Gigaba has yet to address all the allegations made about him and states that testifying in his own defense in a perjury trial would give him the opportunity to do this.
He would, however, prefer to state his case before parliament’s Ethics Committee before escalating the matter that far.
