Twitter: Why does Norma Gigaba spill the beans on Malusi now

Should Norma Mngoma have spoken out, and if so, why only now?

This is the most important question on social media after an explosive interview done by Norma Mngoma, the estranged wife of former minister Malusi Gigaba.

In an exclusive interview with eNCA on Thursday, Mngoma alleged that Gigaba visited the corruption-accused Gupta family at their compound in Saxonwold and received money from the controversial family.

I have aks…

Why does #Norma Gigaba spill the beans on Malusi now that the umqombothi pot in the marriage cracked? If she saw Guptas giving him a lot of cash, why did she keep quiet all along & not report it to the police? Did she eat along or just watched?

To Whom It May Concern

Please note that I shall not be commenting on any aspect of the Moja Love TV audition which will be airing on eNCA at 18h00, tonight.

My energy is exclusively reserved for my fight with the askaris who are the de facto puppet masters.#LongLiveTheAnc!

I think people are already prepared to believe anything #Norma is going to say. At dis point she sounds like a bitter ex, most of the things she’ll say will be true but don’t believe everything a bitter ex is saying. pic.twitter.com/bqYqUOKnf7

She also claimed that Gigaba may be a “p0rn addict” and said this and his wandering eye were a number of the explanations why their marriage ended.

Before the interview, Gigaba pre-emptively tweeted that he wouldn’t be commenting on any a part of the interview.

In August, one among Gigaba’s bodyguards told the state capture commission that the previous minister received cash from the Guptas, which he allegedly wont to fund his lifestyle.

Social media was a multitude over Mngoma’s comments, with some applauding her for speaking out et al. questioning why she was only doing so now.

A few said she revealed an excessive amount of about their marriage and warned that it could “affect their children”.

Here are a number of the reactions:
