Norma Mngoma has detailed the infamous moment she smashed a luxury car belonging to her ex-husband, Malusi Gigaba, in a fit of rage.
The businesswoman has opened up about her marriage and divorce from the former Minister – whom she did not name – in a sit-down interview on the Showmax show, Untied.
NORMA MNGOMA ON INFAMOUS CAR SMASH
Speaking to Untied presenter Relebogile Mabotja, Norma Mngoma shared the shocking story of how she reportedly caught her then-husband in bed with another woman.
Mngoma and her two children, whom she shares with Gigaba, has returned home early after a trip to Durban. After suspecting him of cheating throughout their marriage, she finally saw “proof” of his actions.
“The lady was in bed [with him]. She was trying to cover herself. I took off his glasses, and I tried to beat him up.
A livid Norma Mngoma then proceeded to smash a R3 million Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, which Gigaba had borrowed from a friend.
She continued: “I hated him, I thank God we didnt have a gun. Because if we had…I wasn’t going to be dead. I was not going to die and leave my kids. I was going to shoot him, that’s how angry I was.
She added: “I was not in the right state of mind, what happened…I don’t even remember”
A video of the incident went viral on social media…
Norma Mngoma was later arrested and sued by Malusi Gigaba and his pal for malicious damage to property and for sending a “threatening” WhatsApp message.
Her arrest – where all of her electronic devices were confiscated – was deemed unlawful, and the case was withdrawn by the NPA. However, the defendant pursued civil charges, which are still ongoing.
ZONDO COMMISSION TESTIMONY
In 2021, the year her divorce was finalised, Norma Mngoma testified against her ex-husband, Malusi Gigaba, on his alleged dealings with the notorious Gupta family.
In it, she claimed that Gigaba allegedly received bags of money from the brothers.
The family allegedly paid for their honeymoon in Dubai, home renovations, a luxury car, as well as purchasing designer clothing.
