Knowledge Malusi Nkanyezi Gigaba (August 30, 1971 in Eshowe, KwaZulu-Natal) is the Minister of Public Enterprises in the government of South Africa.[1] First elected to the National Assembly of South Africa in 1999 as part of the African National Congress, he resigned in 2001 but was re-elected in 2004. As Deputy Minister of Home Affairs has was very vocal against xenophobia, actively advocating for inclusion of all Africans. He was involved in a new visa system allowing easier legal flow of migration between South Africa and Zimbabwe. This and positive changes made in the department have won him praise from human rights organization PASSOP and from Adbell Musati, whose Zimbabwean twin brother starved outside of the South African home affairs offices.

Gigaba has also been active in youth organizations, and was elected president of the African National Congress Youth League three times in a row (1996, 1998, 2001).

He earned a bachelor's degree in education from the University of Durban-Westville (now part of the University of KwaZulu-Natal) in 1991, and a master's degree in social policy in 1994.
