Malusi Gigaba has confirmed that the Director General of Home Affairs, Mkuseli Apleni, has resigned and is seeking a new job in the private sector.
Apleni was illegally suspended in September by the then Interior Minister, Hlengiwe Mkhize.
Apleni questioned the Guptas application for citizenship because they did not meet the minimum time requirements. His decision was then withdrawn by Gigaba and citizenship was given to the brothers.
Gigaba praised him for 10 years of service, but at the same time acknowledged that the department had a shortage of 8 000 employees.
