She holds a Bachelor of Laws degree from University of KwaZulu-Natal, a Masters in Cyber Security Governance degree, and a Masters in Laws degree from the University of Johannesburg.
In 2017, when Malusi Gigaba was appointed by then President Jacob Zuma to the position of Minister of Finance, Gcaleka was appointed as his legal advisor. This was a controversial appointment due to her 2010 comments of support for the restructuring of the criminal justice system. Her qualifications include a B.Iuris, LL.M in Constitutional , Postgraduate Diploma in Management Studies, Postgraduate Diploma in Financial Planning, and a Master of Business Administration. In accordance with Section 1A of the Public Protector Act 23 of 1994, Lukhaimane meets the basic requirements for the position of Public Protector, when considering her experience in public administration.
In 2009, the Chairpersons Association demanded that Ntsewa step down from his position as Chairman of the South African Geographical Names Council regarding a dispute on the renaming of an area.
