He was first elected to the National Assembly of South Africa in 1999 as Member of Parliament for the African National Congress.

But banking and security insiders have indicated that it is difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to open an offshore account using a person's name without their knowledge, and that this could amount to fraud.
His spokesperson denied any connection with the account or knowledge of the investigation.
Gigaba was appointed Minister of Finance in March 2017 after the controversial dismissal of Pravin Gordhan.
On 31 March 2017, Gigaba was appointed Minister of Finance, replacing Pravin Gordhan, raising suspicions that he was deployed by Zuma to assist him in developing his allegedly corrupt relationship with the Guptas.
