From snappy dresser to former MP: Malusi Gigaba in pictures

accreditation

From becoming the leader of the ANC Youth League in 1996 to his rise to the top echelons of the ANC, Malusi Gigaba is known as the snappy dresser who fell from grace – which had more to do with his perceived willingness to do the bidding of former president Jacob Zuma and less to do with a rather interesting video that went viral a couple of weeks ago.

Here is a gallery of the minister who will now always be remembered for raising his finger in Parliament.
