Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba got shut down in Parliament late on Tuesday night when MPs dismissed his attempt to proffer old explanations in the Fireblade Aviation private terminal saga. Just a few days earlier the minister’s last bid to appeal court findings that he had lied under oath was dismissed – still he wanted to tell MPs there had been no approval – and the public protector instructed President Cyril Ramaphosa to take disciplinary steps against the politician once touted to head for the presidency. MPs across the board were not impressed by Gigaba’s performance.
