Malusi Gigaba Completes PhD Amid Political Comeback

Malusi Gigaba Completes PhD Amid Political Comeback

Former finance minister Malusi Gigaba has reached a significant academic milestone, completing his PhD in Public Management and Governance at the University of Johannesburg (UJ). The institution confirmed he will graduate later in 2025, marking a new chapter for the controversial politician.

Gigaba’s research, conducted with co-authors Eric Blanco Niyitunga and Dominique Emmanuel Uwizeyimana, explores how digital infrastructure can boost rural economic development. Their published work argues that improved connectivity could transform education, healthcare, and livelihoods in underserved areas—if supported by proper funding and inclusive policies.

This academic achievement comes as Gigaba seeks to reshape his public image following a turbulent political career. As a key figure in Jacob Zuma’s administration, his tenure was clouded by state capture allegations, including accusations of facilitating Gupta-linked appointments at state-owned enterprises. The Zondo Commission’s findings and personal scandals led to his 2018 resignation.

Despite being cleared of misconduct by the ANC in 2025, skepticism persists. Critics question whether his policy-focused PhD can outweigh past controversies as he reportedly eyes senior party positions.

Gigaba’s story reflects South Africa’s complex political landscape—where redemption battles accountability, and academic credentials intersect with unresolved questions about ethical leadership. As graduation approaches, observers watch to see whether this degree represents genuine reform or strategic repositioning in his ongoing comeback bid.
