Johannesburg - Former Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba has spoken out and expressed his anger that he was forced out of his ministerial post over the Gupta naturalisation saga.
This comes amid the release on Monday of reports of several investigations conducted by Public Protector advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane.
One of the reports clears the embattled Gigaba, an outcome which the former minister has welcomed.
Gigaba, who now works for the ANCâs policy unit in Johannesburg, was reacting to the finding that the maladministration which occurred during his tenure was conducted by senior staff within the department.

JOHANNESBURG - The public protector on Monday found that former minister Malusi Gigaba breached the executive ethics code and misrepresented facts when dealing with the Gupta family naturalisation saga during his tenure as leader of the home affairs department. But he did not abuse his power when approving it.
I welcome the Public Protector s report which clears me of the baseless allegations: Malusi Gigaba
Johannesburg:
A former South African minister was on Monday cleared of multiple allegations that he abused his power while granting early naturalisation to members of the controversial Indian-origin Gupta family.
Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane found that former Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba breached the executive ethics code by failing to table names in Parliament of persons who were granted citizenship under exceptional circumstances within the provisions of the South African Citizenship Act.
The Public Protector, however, said that the minister did not abuse his power while approving early naturalisation to the Gupta family.
