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.
He has admitted to spending tax payers money using the Department of Home Affairs budget, and spent public money on private plane tickets for members of the Malusi Gigaba Institute for Leadership.
