Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Disgraced ANC leader and former state enterprises minister Malusi Gigaba announced he would hand himself over to police on Friday morning after a summons on charges related to Transnet.<\/p>\n

In a statement released on Friday morning, he said the National Prosecuting Authority informed him he was required to attend court, where he will be formally charged in connection with proceedings related to Transnet.<\/p>\n

Gigaba said he will appear in court in accordance with the summons and rule of law. He said he respected the process of constitutional democracy, adding he will continue to cooperate fully with the legal system.\u201cMy actions have always been guided by policy, process and the values of accountability and service,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Gigaba recently sat down with the Sunday Times and maintained his innocence. He rose to infamy under former president Jacob Zuma and has been branded a state capture enabler and Gupta associate.<\/p>\n

He was one of the most nefarious figures in former chief justice Raymond Zondo\u2019s state capture report, credited with opening the gates for the Gupta family to infiltrate state-owned entities, claims he has strenuously denied.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe allegations against me were deliberately crafted, deliberately made and very well targeted,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were also very deliberately sustained to diminish my standing and political future. But they\u2019re not going to succeed. As I have said many times before, those who are headed into the future must know they will find me in that future. There\u2019s no way I\u2019m going to go away. I\u2019m a problem that refuses to die.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zondo instructed law enforcement agencies to investigate and possibly charge Gigaba with corruption and racketeering. His report found Gigaba had enabled the Gupta family to loot Transnet, and the former minister was alleged to have benefited financially from the Gupta criminal enterprise.He faced a backlash from the ANC, with secretary-general Fikile Mbalula threatening disciplinary action after the Sunday Times interview, in which he criticised the party as having failed in its duties.<\/p>\n

Gigaba was cleared of all wrongdoing by the ANC\u2019s internal processes in matters related to his time in Zuma\u2019s cabinet.<\/p>\n
