Legal expert Emma Sadleir Berkowitz joined John Maytham to give a legal perspective on the battle between former Cabinet minister Malusi Gigaba and streaming platform Showmax, over an episode of the Untied docuseries featuring explosive claims from his ex-wife, Nomachule Mngoma. Gigaba is seeking to block the broadcast, citing reputational damage and the impact on his children. Emma shared insight into the legal rights of public figures, the obligations of broadcasters, and how South African courts weigh up personal privacy against the public’s right to know.

ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has launched a disciplinary process against three senior party leaders implicated in the Zondo state capture report: Malusi Gigaba, David Mahlobo and Cedric Frolick.

ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has launched a disciplinary process against three senior party leaders implicated in the Zondo state capture report: Malusi Gigaba, David Mahlobo and Cedric Frolick.

Daily Maverick Journalist, Queenin Masuabi, explains that The ANC has identified 7 senior members, including Malusi Gigaba, David Mahlobo, Zizi Kodwa, and Cedric Frolick, for removal from the party's national lists due to adverse findings in Chief Justice Raymond Zondo's State Capture Report.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The number of failed former ministers who have in the past been redeployed to the African National Congress's (ANC's) Luthuli House head office is set to be significantly reduced should the party adopt proposed constitutional amendments. A move to reduce to three the number of members deployed to permanent positions at Luthuli House is among the proposed constitutional amendments put forward by ANC structures. The proposals will be published on Tuesday. The proposed amendment limits the positions to secretary-general and two deputies. During a media briefing on Monday following the national executive committee (NEC) meeting over the weekend, Ronald Lamola confirmed that party structures had proposed various changes to the party's constitution. Lamola, the head of the party's constitutional development committee, said one of the most significant proposed changes was the introduction of a second deputy secretary-general. The party has had to redeploy more than five NEC members to the secretary-general's office since Ace Magashule's suspension and the death of his deputy, Jessie Duarte. As such, the proposal to have two deputy secretaries-general has found resonance among the party's structures. Lamola said that "with regards to the deputy secretary, the rationale is that we will need to have a second deputy secretary who will be able to be assigned specific responsibilities by the NEC". Should the proposed new resolution be adopted at the ANC's conference next month, the headcount of permanent staff deployed by the NEC will drop significantly. Several former ministers and NEC members, including Malusi Gigaba, Nomvula Mokonyane, Jeff Radebe, and NEC members Nkenke Kekana, Dakota Legoete, and Sibongile Besani, are employed at Luthuli House. It's been reported that these members are paid the equivalent of a deputy minister's salary, placing further strain on the party's already bloated salary bill. Over the last two years, the ANC has struggled to pay its administrative staff, with disgruntled employees speaking out over the late payment of their salaries. They have also had to make ends meet after only portions of their salaries were paid. Delegates attending the elective conference in Nasrec, Johannesburg, next month will vote on the proposal on the first day of the event, ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile said last week. Mashatile, who is also the acting secretary-general, said deliberations on the proposed change would also take place on the first day. Lamola said for the proposed change to take effect, at least three-quarters of voting delegates would have to support the constitutional amendment. Just more than 4 500 voting delegates will be attending the conference. Attempts to increase the number of positions for deputy secretaries-general and deputy presidents have failed in the past. The party's contentious step-aside rule is also expected to be put to a vote at the conference. The step-aside rule stems from the party's 2012 Mangaung conference, where delegates deliberated on what should happen when someone tarnished the organisation's image and integrity, usually after being linked to criminal charges. Given that no mechanisms were in place to ensure that members could be held accountable, the ANC's national elective conference in Nasrec in 2017 resolved to put specific guidelines in place and will now seek to strengthen the resolution by constitutionalising it. "Once the amendment is made, it can be applied in a manner that is transparent and is also consistent because when it's in the constitution, the NEC and any structures will be obliged to follow the constitution," Lamola said. He explained that all the proposed changes to the party's constitution were being advanced to "enhance the work of the ANC on renewal". "They should give the impetus to guide what was started at the 2017 elective conference in terms of restoring the image of the party," said Lamola.

Former Transnet chief executive officer (CEO) Brian Molefe, Anoj Singh, the parastatal's former finance boss, and their co-accused were granted bail on Monday after being arrested in connection with a R93-million corruption and fraud case linked to the procurement of 1 064 locomotives in 2015. The two former executives were joined in the dock by Niven Pillay and Litha Nyhonyha, directors at the Gupta-linked firm, Regiments Capital. The four men were granted R50 000 bail. The case has been postponed to 14 October. Earlier in the morning, six other people, who had already been charged in the matter, appeared briefly in the same courtroom. The six - another ex-Transnet group CEO, Siyabonga Gama, Regiment Capital's Eric Wood, former Transnet acting chief financial officer Garry Pita, former group treasurer Phetolo Ramosebudi, Trillian Asset Management director Daniel Roy and Kuben Moodley, owner of Albatime - previously appeared in court in May. Wood has requested that his bail conditions be amended. He will be back in court on 7 October for the hearing. The matter stems from a payment of R93-million to Trillian Capital, a Gupta-linked proxy company, to secure funding for the purchase of the locomotives. The transaction advisory contract was initially awarded to global investment bank, JP Morgan, before the deal was cancelled. It was subsequently awarded to Trillian. The estimated cost of the project ballooned from around R38-billion in 2012 to more than R50-billion. In its report, the Zondo Commission recommended that the police investigate Molefe, Gama and Singh for their alleged roles in siphoning money from Transnet to the Gupta family. A 2018 forensic report found that Molefe had misled the state-owned entity's board about its obligation to inform then-public enterprises minister Malusi Gigaba about the spike in the project's costs. BAIL APPLICATIONS During their first appearance, Molefe, Singh, Pillay and Nyhonyha detailed their personal circumstances to the court as they sought to secure bail. All four indicated that they intended to plead not guilty. Nyhonyha told the court he was married in community of property. He also said his children had previously studied in America and Britain, but that they had since returned home. He added that he held shares in various companies. Molefe said he didn't have any relatives outside of South Africa's borders. His lawyer, Mpho Molefe, told the court the former Eskom CEO was married with two minor children, who relied on him for support. He said he also supported his mother. Molefe said he received R52 000 monthly from his pension, and he earned a R12 000 salary from his directorship at a company. Singh's attorney, Anneline van den Heever, said he had no previous convictions and wasn't a flight risk. Van den Heever told the court her client wouldn't interfere with the State's evidence or witnesses.

Former cabinet minister Malusi Gigaba had detailed to the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture how he met the Gupta brothers. Gigaba also denied he visited the Gupta residency in Saxonworld more then twenty times as aleged by his former wife Noma Gigaba. The former finance minister told the commission he knew the Gupta's while he was President of the ANC Youth League back in early two thousand. He has also denied allegations that he had dealings with then while he was minister of Home Affairs. He says he had interactions with the brothers and they were also well known within the ANC circle. Amina Accram reports ...

Die vervreemde vrou van Malusi Gigaba het die voormalige minister van finansies daarvan beskuldig dat hy probeer het om inligting van hul elektroniese toestelle te verwyder. Norma Mngoma het teruggekeer om verder voor die staatkapingskommissie te getuig oor die voormalige egpaar se verhouding met die omstrede Gupta familie. Sy sê Gigaba het 'n IT-deskundige gekry om die inligting te verwyder:

Die gewese Suid-Afrikaanse Minister van Finansies, Malusi Gigaba, sê sy interaksie met die Gupta-familie beteken nie daar was enige onderduimse ooreenkomste nie. Hy getuig voor die Staatskapingskommissie om te reageer op sommige van die opspraakwekkende getuienis wat sy vervreemde vrou, Norma Mngoma, voor die kommissie gelewer het. Sy het getuig dat sy en Gigaba dikwels by die Gupta-woning gekuier het terwyl Gigaba die Minister van Finansies was. Gigaba het erken dat hy verskeie geleenthede bygewoon het wat die Guptas aangebied het, maar hy ontken enige onderhandelings met hulle.

Die vervreemde vrou van die gewese minister van binnelandse sake, Malusi Gigaba het aan die staatskapingskommsissie vertel dat Gigaba 850 000 Suid-Afrikaanse rand by Ajay Gupta gevra het. Norma Mngoma sê die omstrede Gupta-familie het Gigaba die helfte van die geld gegee wat hy gebruik het om sy werklose suster se skuld te betaal. Sy en Gigaba verskyn vanoggend al twee voor die kommissie nadat die verrigtinge gister weens kommer oor veiligheid verdaag is. Mngoma sê Gigaba het die geld binne twee dae gekry:

Noma Gigaba and her estranged husband former minister Malusi Gigaba are to testify back-to-back before the State Capture Commission today. Last night's proceedings ended on a dramatic note and were halted due to security concerns.

Die Britse mediese vakjoernaal, THE LANCET, spreek sy kommer uit oor die gebrek aan sielkundige bystand aan vroue wat miskrame ervaar. Die voormalige kabinetsminister Malusi Gigaba se vervreemde vrou, Norma, het voor die Staatskapingskommissie getuig.

Election Day is getting closer and closer. As South Africans prepare to go to the polls, the ANC has released its electoral lists. The lists generated instant controversy as they prominently featured certain dubious politicians, including Mosebenzi Zwane, Malusi Gigaba, Bathabile Dlamini and Nomvula Mokonyane. Why has the ANC allowed these compromised individuals to return as public representatives? Is this a sign that Ramaphosa is struggling to implement an anti-corruption programme? Or is it a simple case of "innocent until proven guilty"? Most importantly, what will voters make of the decision? Alec Hogg and Felicity Duncan dig into these questions. They also discuss the Boeing 737 Max 8 crash and Boeing's struggle to respond effectively  to unfolding events. 

Former South African Airways Board Chair, Cheryl Carolus, has taken the stand at the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture in Parktown, Johannesburg. Carolus and other board members resigned as board members of SAA in 2012. Carolus said at the time that her relationship with the then Public Enterprises Minister, Malusi Gigaba, had broken down irretrievably. In her testimony today, Carolus says she is disturbed by the events that have occurred in South Africa over the past 10 years. Carolus' evidence is led by advocate Kate Hofmeyr.

Home Affairs Minister, Malusi Gigaba, is this morning (Tuesday 6/11) expected to brief Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs, on the decision to grant the Oppenheimer family permission to operate a private terminal at the OR Tambo International Airport. The Committee wants the Minister to clarify contradictions between statements he made before them and statements he made more recently.

Maui tackles Malusi Gigaba's scandalous life.

The Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has recommended that President Cyril Ramaphosa take disciplinary action against Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba. This after Mkhwebane found that Gigaba had violated the Constitution and the Executive Ethics code by lying under oath when he said he had not approved a private air terminal for the Oppenheimer family in early 2016. Gigaba was afforded an opportunity to respond to the allegation, but he failed to do so. DA Member of Parliament, John Steenhuisen, had lodged the complaint. Mkhwebane has given Ramaphosa 20 days in which to act against Gigaba. Meanwhile minister Malusi Gigaba has confirmed that he has received the Public Protector's report and says he is studying it. In a short statement released last night Gigaba says he will advise on the next course of action. Tsepiso Makwetla spoke to director at Accountability Now, Advocate Paul Hoffman

MultimediaLIVE — Finance Minister Tito Mboweni’s first major policy statement since returning to the cabinet almost halved the treasury’s growth forecast while predicting a steady increase in debt and borrowing. In a revision that puts the government in line with the Reserve Bank’s forecast, the state now expects the economy to grow 0.7% in 2018, compared with the 1.5% prediction that was presented by former finance minister Malusi Gigaba in February.

Taking a look at some of the week's hottest current affairs topics, journalist Katharine Child joins Gareth and the team to comment on Finance Minister Tito Mboweni, the ConCourt's ruling against Malusi Gigaba and Bathabile Dlamini, the Wellington farm attack, and a march by ANC supporters for better service delivery.

South Africa will ease some immigration restrictions, in an effort to boost investment and tourism but the South African Tourism Association says it's a litle too late. The changes to immigration rules are part of a broader economic turnaround programme announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa last week. Home Affairs Minister, Malusi Gigaba, says minors travelling in and out of South Africa will be required to prove both parents' consent. Gigaba was briefing the media in Pretoria on the amendments to the visa regulations. In June 2015 new rules required parents to carry an unabridged birth certificate for accompanying children and consent letters from parents who were not traveling.

Home Affairs minister, Malusi Gigaba, is expected to appear before Parliament's inquiry into the naturalisation of the Gupta family today. The chairperson of Parliament's Home Affairs inquiry, Hlomani Chauke, says it has been brought to his attention that a witness in this matter, Ashu Chawla, is out of the country. The committee is in its second phase of the inquiry, to clear up some questions it still has. Chawla is the former Chief Operating Officer of Sahara computers. This is what former home affairs official Richard Skhakhane responded to questions from MPs...

Long queues and prolonged waiting at Home Affairs offices will soon be a thing of the past. Home Affairs, minister Malusi Gigaba has met all senior managers across the country to come up with solutions. Never-ending queues, constant crashing of the online system have been plagueing the department. Minister Gigaba's spokesperson Mayihlome Tshwete provided more information on the meeting.

Analysts and the opposition say President Cyril Ramaphosa's cabinet reshuffle has exposed how fragile his support still is within the ranks of the ANC, or how unwilling he is to deal with corruption. Commentators say moving Bathabile Dlamini to Women in the Presidency and Nomvula Mokonyane to Communications, returning Thulas Nxesi to Public Works, and Malusi Gigaba to Home Affairs among others, are an indication of how much he had to compromise.

“Brought to you by Absa ETFs”  Simon Shares Discovery* (JSE code: DSY) results were top notch and complicated as they always are. I own this stock as the business model really works, but as I have mentioned before the complexity adds risk. Risk I am happy with as most stocks I own have real simple business models. JSE (JSE code: JSE) results show HEPS down 6%. But look at value being traded these days. R25billion a day has become a regular feature, last year average was around R15billion. That equals lots of extra revenue in this financial year. Mining charter back to the drawing board. Good for local miners (of which we have very few). January CPI dropped to 4.4%, interest cuts coming to a prime rate near you? But budget may add to inflation (fuel being the one, not directly but will increase transport costs so food inflation). Up coming events; ABSA NewFunds ETF seminars (DBN, CPT, JHB and webcast) * I Hold ungeared positions #Budget2018 Firstly I think Cyril Ramaphosa may have played it real smart by letting Malusi Gigaba deliver the budget. He can now spend the next year claiming it was not his budget but a Zuma legacy budget. Overall not the train smash expected but still lots of tax increases with R36billion of extra tax. Lots of cuts to spending, R86billion over three years and which has to actually happen. VAT increased to 15% (first change since 1993), with 19 basic food items being zero-rated. Cue everybody suddenly caring about how this will hurt the poor. “Wealthiest 30% of household contribute 85% of VAT revenue”.  "The Old age, disability and care dependency grants will increase on 1 April 2018 from the existing R1600 by R90 to R1690 and by a further R10 to R1700 on 1st October 2018." GDP growth 1.5% in 2018 and rising to 2.1% in 2020. I hope they are very wrong on this. No changes to; Dividend withholding tax (DWT) CGT (40% inclusion rate with first R40k exempt) Tax-free limits (annual or life time) No Nuclear. Retirement funds will be allowed to invest up to 40% outside of SA - 30% "offshore" and another 10% elsewhere in Africa. JSE added 1.25% during the speech, USDZAR 8c and government bonds back at 8%, bond levels last seen three years ago. For our investments. Consumers being taxed, no surprise. But with inflation dropping leading to prime rate likely heading lower I still like the SA Inc. investment thesis. Overall - a good balancing act albeit still a tough budget. But could have been much worse and I think Moodys will not downgrade us on the back of it.

Fine Music Radio — It’s all been about the poor performance of our economy, slow growth, you name it. A week of painful introspection, no matter how Malusi Gigaba dresses up his words or indeed his person with designer suits and spectacles. There is a lot of talk, comment, on how the economy could be vamped up, efficiencies increased, corruption rooted out. There must be hope for a better deal in the future. What are politicians without hope? Most commentators say there’s nothing much that the Minister can offer, as we’re tied to the current model of the market, selling of minerals and a bit of agricultural produce – in short the same thing as before. But wait, say the alternative society protagonists – it’s time for a new socio-economic paradigm. Paradigm? One of those fashionable words that make you sound clever – it simply means model of how things work. Let’s change the paradigm of society and the economy says the A I D C, the Alternative Information and Development Centre. Since 2011 they’ve been working on this new paradigm, which will radically change the way we trade, the way we live. And I mean radically, as the AIDC thinking is unashamedly to the Left, or against the capitalist paradigm that we are firmly entrenched in. So what to do? Create a Million Climate Jobs! What do they mean, climate jobs? We’re coming to that. First though South Africa has to transition away from the Minerals-Energy complex that continues to dominate our capitalist economy, to a low-carbon economy in which the basic needs of communities are met in an equitable, sustainable and affordable way. There have been developments in the right direction since 2011, but the solutions are being pursued with the logic of the capital market. In these six years there have been many developments – for instance, renewable energy is now firmly established as part of the energy mix (although still a minor part); retrofitting buildings, and the development of environmentally friendly construction methods The Alternative Information and Development Centre
