A lot of the implicated politicians in the state capture inquiry and former Transnet managers, such as former Chief Financial Officer Anoj Singh and CEOs Brian Molefe and Siyabonga Gama, reportedly stashed the contents of the boxes, according to court documents filed by Moodley.

Gama and Singh informed the newspaper that they knew nothing about the charges, while Molefe refused to rent or own a security deposit box at all times.

Moodley allegedly said in an application to review and set aside the search-and-seizure warrant that the summons was served on Knox Titanium Vault Company and that the warrant request was given unlawfully and only law enforcement agencies, not the commission, had confiscation authority.

Moodley was a fixer according to Fin24, although he preferred the word "partner for company growth." He created the contacts for a fee that enabled businesses to land profitable agreements with state-owned companies such as Transnet and Eskom.

In the final study passed by the Parliament's Public Enterprise Portfolio Committee on State Capture Allegations at Eskom and Transnet, Moodley was mentioned among several people who either failed to make themselves accessible for questioning during the investigation, or were to be summoned to the committee chaired by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo.

It revealed that the Johannesburg High Court had set aside last month's original summons and search and seizure warrant, issuing a fee order against the committee after criticizing "unauthorized behavior."

After his early days of schooling  and activism in the Congress of South African Students (COSAS), the South African Youth Congress (SAYCO), the South African Student Congress (SASCO) and Young Christian Students (YCS) it was these young radical school movements that armed Malusi politically that he became astute to the consciousness of the African National Congress (ANC).

1990 ushered a new breather in the political landscape of the country when all the political parties were unbanned by the then apartheid government. This development allowed Malusi to join the African National Congress Youth League and the ANC. That same year he completed his Bachelor of Pedagogics at UDW, but continued pursuing a postgraduate degree. Malusi Gigaba became one of the founding members of the Education Students Society University of Durban-Westville in 1992. The following year (1993) he was elected as chairman of SASCO at the University Durban-Westville (UDW).

Fast-forward his political journey to 2004 when Malusi Gigaba was elected to the parliament of the new democratic dispensation of South Africa under the leadership of the then President Thabo Mbeki. He gradually climbed the ladder of his political career in the ANC until the 52nd National Conference of the African National Congress in Polokwane brought a quantum leap for Malusi Gigaba because of the election of Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma as the successor of Thabo Mbeki. The new ANC president that emerged from Polokwane elevated Malusi Gagaba to a more important role by making him the Public Enterprise Minister in 2011, Malusi ran with the post and was actually carrying out the ideas and intended actions of his political godfather who under the guise of radical economic transformation had an agenda to run the State Owned Enterprise (SOE) in a special way. As a political figure head in the Public Enterprise Ministry, Malusi Gigaba proved that South Africa is not immunized to political cronyism and patronage that exists in other African  countries.

Malusi's political life waned out abruptly when the ANC changed its leadership in the 54th National Conference of the African National Congress in 2017 in Nasrec, Soweto where Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa was elected as the new president of the ruling party. Due the strained relationship between the ANC and it's voting base, the ruling party embarked on the  campaign to cleanse itself and remerge anew so as to appeal to the voters base in upcoming 2019 general election. A couple of government employees were called upon to testify in the ongoing commission of inquiry and Malusi Gigaba has been implicated in some of the governance malpractices, this got him to a shaky ground and adding to his unbecoming attitude on various social media platforms, opposition parties pressured the President of the country Mr. Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa to fire Minister Malusi Gigaba. In his deliberations before taking a decision on Malusi Gigaba, the minister voluntarily resigned by himself from his post and equally resigned as a member of parliament. Finally, Malusi Gigaba has given in to the political pressure of the opposition parties, does this mean that this is the beginning of his political wilderness or he has gone off to a political cleansing? So that he will reemerge some 5 years later.
