Gigaba apparently did not appreciate what Haffajee said and took to Twitter to call her a "shameless fraud".
"You are such a shameless fraud, @ferialhaffajee."
She responded by telling Gigaba not to "shoot the messenger" and added that Gigaba's reaction must have been because he had a bad day.
"Don’t shoot the messenger, Sir. Must have been a hard day."
Social media users reacted to the post in the comment section:

"When under pressure and having embarrassed oneself, resort to personal attacks."
@PatelJayshal:
"This deluded fool has the audacity to call someone else a fraud when he sat there at the commission saying he only knew now about the Guptas benefiting from his illiteracy! We not stupid! Go to your masters in Dubai and bring back the money! masturbate on it! It will make sense!"
@KoosKanmar:
"You reap what you sow. Someone should have taught Malusi this when he was younger."
Earlier, Briefly News reported that Norma Mngoma, the estranged wife of former cabinet minister Malusi Gigaba, continued to spill the beans at the Commission into State Capture on Friday. Mngoma also testified that the former Home Affairs minister had owned more than 100 suits and they were all bought in cash.
She also told the commission that her estranged husband gave her a credit card - not a debit card with only R3 000 on it as he alleged.
Instead, the former minister gave her a R100 000 monthly limit, the commission heard. She added as per News24:
"There is nothing in my life that I can do with R3 000 and he knows that. So, when he says it was a debit card, that is him saying that. What [I] know is that it was a credit card.
"I didn't know how much the credit card had because when I go overseas sometimes, I would use it to buy a bag which would cost R30 000 to R40 000. Also in my life, there is nothing I can do with R3 000."
