Norma Mngoma is no stranger to the public eye, but recently she has shared some jaw-dropping details about her marriage to former Minister Malusi Gigaba.
From shocking bedroom habits to alleged infidelities, Norma has laid bare the ups and downs of their relationship and her journey toward independence after their split.
A Glamorous Wedding and a Turbulent Marriage
The couple tied the knot in 2014, celebrating with an extravagant wedding reportedly worth around R6 million.
Their union quickly attracted attention, with Norma becoming well-known as the wife of one of South Africa’s top politicians.
However, behind the scenes, things were far from perfect.
Norma and Malusi, affectionately dubbed the “Gigabytes” by fans, had two children together, but their marriage began to unravel amid rumours of his extramarital affairs — claims he has consistently denied.
Scandalous Revelations and a Viral Video
One of the most shocking moments came in 2020 when a private video of Malusi Gigaba circulated on social media, showing him in a compromising act.
Norma revealed that the video had been used to blackmail them for months before it went public.
She insisted that the clip was entirely his doing, not shared between them, contradicting his attempts to paint it as a private moment between husband and wife.
Reflecting on the fallout, Norma couldn’t help but compare her ex to the infamous American rapper P Diddy — known for his controversial personal life.
She joked about Malusi’s habit of packing baby oil for business trips, implying he was prepared for intimate encounters on the road.
Troubling Details About Bedroom Life and Infidelity
Norma didn’t hold back on describing some of the more disturbing aspects of their marriage.
She alleged that Malusi watched porn on his iPad during work hours and kept explicit photos of other women.
During their intimate moments, she said he would call her degrading names — a behavior she found deeply hurtful.
The truth hit home when Norma came back early from a trip to find Malusi in bed with another woman.
She described the confrontation as chaotic and painful, finally prompting her decision to end the marriage.
Embracing Independence and New Beginnings
After starting divorce proceedings in late 2020, Norma officially took back her maiden name and began carving out her own path.
She has become a successful businesswoman and motivational speaker, especially advocating for women’s and children’s empowerment through her charity, the Norma Mngoma Foundation.
Once labelled a “trophy wife,” Norma now proudly identifies as an independent woman.
“I am free and I’m independent,” she told the media, embracing her new identity with confidence.
From Personal Struggles to Public Testimony
Norma has also stepped into the public spotlight in another way — by testifying against Malusi at the Zondo Commission regarding his alleged involvement in state capture.
Her courage to speak out reflects a broader commitment to justice and accountability.
