He's filed legal papers to have what he calls untruthful findings against him by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) set aside.

Gauteng Premier, David Makhura, fired Masuku after the SIU found irregular PPE (personal protective equipment) tenders happened on his watch.

He is also suspended from performing any duties for the ANC in Gauteng.

In a statement, Masuku says he's endured an onslaught of unfounded allegations against him for the past three months.

He says they have tarnished his reputation.

Masuku wants the High Court to rule that the SIU's recommendations are unconstitutional and invalid.
