Norma Mngoma compares ex Malusi Gigaba to Diddy in shock tell-all
Norma Mngoma has compared her ex-husband, Malusi Gigaba, to disgraced US rapper P Diddy over his use of baby oil in the bedroom. She's also detailed his alleged love of porn, mistresses, and their degrading sex life. From 2014 to 2020, the IT businesswoman was married to the former Minister of Home Affairs and later Finance. Their R6 million wedding and marriage crumbled after a series of Gigaba's alleged extra-marital affairs, which he has publicly denied. Mngoma made the bombshell allegations in a tell-all on Showmax's Untied , which Gigaba tried to block from airing unsuccessfully. During the hour-long episode, Norma Mngoma delved into her relationship with Malusi Gigba – whom she did not name – which began with him courting her whilst he was still legally married to another woman. Soon, the couple – known as the 'Gigabytes,' – had two children together and had gone public with their relationship. In 2014, they tied the knot in an extravagant wedding worth around '6 or 7 million'. Norma Mngoma said she received countless messages from women who claimed that they had sexual relations with her then-husband. She brushed them off, as he claimed that they were 'jealous' of their relationship. In 2020, Malusi Gigaba was also caught with his pants down in a video that went viral on social media. In a clip that shocked the Twitter [now X] timeline, Malusi was seen self-pleasuring himself, uttering the words, 'Imagine this in your mouth.' Mngoma claims that Gigaba deceived the public into thinking the video was personal between him and his wife. Claiming to be lied to and gaslit by her spouse, she told Untied presenter Relebogile Mabotja of the video: 'I saw it the day it was leaked, but we were blackmailed [by the woman] for six months [prior to this]. They were demanding money; they wanted a million. 'He acted like it was our video, but we've never done a video together, so why [lie]? 'He knew very well that it was a video of himself alone. So he lied until the day the video was leaked. 'When I heard that it was trending on Pornhub, I laughed. I used to say to him, 'There are so many things you lied about, one day you will be exposed. ' 'They finally got you'. Norma Mngoma compared her now ex-husband to the US rapper P Diddy, who has been accused of sexual assault, sex trafficking and harassment. She said of his official business trips to other provinces: 'Whenever you leave, you pack oils. You're like Puff Daddy [P Diddy] now. Why would you pack like that? It means whenever you leave home, you are prepared for those things.' Also in the interview, Norma Mngoma claimed that Malusi Gigaba stored nudes from other women on his iPad and watched porn while he did work for his ministerial duties. 'He was so used to it', she said. Mngoma also claimed Gigaba enjoyed calling her derogatory names during their intimate moments in the bedroom. She continued: 'We can be naughty, but don't degrade me. He loves that'. After accessing his phone to see incriminating messages, Mngoma finally caught her husband in the act when she arrived home early from a trip to find him in bed with another woman. 'The lady was in bed. She was trying to cover herself…I took off his glasses, I tried to beat him up', she said. In late 2020, Norma Mngoma started divorce proceedings, and in a few months, she was officially divorced from Malusi Gigaba, the father of her two children. She reverted to her maiden surname 'Mngoma', appeared as a keynote speaker at various business conferences and awards ceremonies – particularly those honouring females – and even launched her own charity, the Norma Mngoma Foundation, aimed at women and child upliftment. From being hailed a 'trophy wife', Mngoma said she saw herself as an 'independent woman'. 'I am free and I'm independent,' she told the media of her new identity. Mngoma would testify against her husband in the Zondo Commission about her ex's alleged state capture dealings with the Guptas.

Kaizer Chiefs Striker Sacrifice: R6-million attacker to make way for new signing
Kaizer Chiefs are going to be making even more changes to their playing squad. Kaizer Chiefs have already released SEVEN players so far. However, they are far from done with their squad revamp. Kaizer Chiefs face a striker and attack crisis. In three matches – 270 minutes (4 and a half hours) of football, not one attacker has scored for Amakhosi during their pre-season tour of Spain. Therefore, it is clear that Chiefs need to revamp their attack. Unfortunately, for their attackers, that does not just mean signing new attackers. Additionally, it means that the current crop of wingers and strikers are in danger of being released. So, the technical team is planning to release one or two strikers with Tashreeq Morris facing a possible departure out of Naturena. 'The technical team wants to have strikers with wingers believed to be playing a part in the attack. In their restructuring of the squad, they are believed to be looking at releasing one or two strikers, with Tashreeq Morris' name being bandied about. We will see after the pre-season for the final decision on which strikers will be sacrificed,' the insider stated on SNL . Morris is valued at over R6 million, according to Transfermarkt . Chiefs need to sign a clinical striker. Meanwhile, Amakhosi's technical team wants to bring in at least one more attacking midfielder – a winger or a number 10. 'As much as the team is believed to be looking at releasing strikers, they are still looking at signing at least one more attacking midfielder. They are talking about a winger or another number 10. I think that could be last signing for this window,' the source added.

Limited progress in South Africa's release of government-owned land: what it means for development
A file picture showing a KwaZulu-Natal North Coast sugarcane farm. Beneficiaries of a settled land claim for prime land in KwaDukuza were yet to benefit from the property due to disputes. Image: Karen Sandison/ Independent Newspapers While the release of the government-owned land remains ever more important in South Africa's development, the country has seen very little progress in that regard. Disappointingly, the Department of Land Reform and Rural Development has made limited progress on this matter despite this being one of the central aspects of the agricultural sector's inclusive growth agenda, says Wandile Sihlobo, the chief economist at the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa(Agbiz). 'In essence, while we confront many present-day challenges, these long-term reforms of the AAMP and land release must continue for the sector to achieve its inclusive growth aspirations,' Sihlobo said. Delivering the Department of Land Reform and Rural Development Budget Vote Speech last week, Minister Mzwanele Nyhontsho said the overall budget of the Department for the 2025 financial year is R9 820 billion. He said relative to the total allocation, Land and Tenure Reform and Restitution have received the largest share, amounting to R6 168 billion or 63 per cent of the total allocation. 'This demonstrates that our budget is grounded on our core mandate. "The Land Redistribution and Tenure Reform branch has been allocated a total budget of R1 073 billion. Within this budget, a total allocation of R559 million has been set aside to acquire and allocate 44 000 hectares of land,' Nyhontsho said. He added that the department continues to process applications for awards of land to labour tenants, which were lodged not later than 31 March 2001. He said it should be acknowledged, though, that the area of tenure security for labour tenants, including the continuing spate of illegal evictions, remains an unacceptable situation. 'The Department is implementing a comprehensive plan to address historical inefficiencies relating to the management of state land. This includes calling for accountability from some recalcitrant officials and ensuring consequence management. "Our Department is also addressing the challenges related to Communal Property Associations (CPAs), particularly their dysfunctionality. To address this challenge, the Department is implementing measures that include the establishment of an independent CPA office, which is currently headed by an Acting Registrar. "Furthermore, a continuous process of training the executives of these structures on governance, financial management, land management, and related skills and capabilities is currently underway. A series of roadshows that will culminate with a CPA Indaba has also been planned.' The Minister said the Commission on Restitution of Land Rights has been allocated a budget of R3.7 billion for the current financial year. He said the speed with which the claims are settled is heavily reliant on the allocated budget year on year. 'To address the challenge of expediting the pace of settling of the old order land claims, i.e. those lodged before the original cut-off date of 31 December 1998, the Commission is streamlining processes, underwritten by new policies and standard operating procedures (SOPs), as part of an acceleration strategy. "That said, however, additional financial and human resources will still be required, and in general terms, we have to focus on enhancing the efficiency of the offices of the Land Claims Commission in the whole country.' Speaking at the NARYSEC YOUTH pass-out event last month, Stanley Mathabatha, the Deputy Minister in the Department of Land Reform and Rural Development, said they were well aware of the challenges facing rural communities. He said these challenges include high levels of poverty and unemployment. 'One of the most pressing issues is the legacy of colonial and apartheid uneven development between, on the one hand, developed metropolitan regions and, on the other hand, underdeveloped rural areas. "The development challenge is evident in the limited access rural communities have to economic infrastructure, economic investment, economic resources and economic opportunities that you find in developed metropolitan regions,' Mathabatha said. The deputy minister said that as a result, they continue to see growing migration patterns from rural areas to developed metropolitan regions, as people search for economic opportunities and resources. 'Some refer to this process simply as urbanisation. However, we understand that successful rural development, grounded in equitable investment and distribution of resources, and in continuously improved integrated strategic planning, can change this pattern. "By making rural areas more attractive and economically viable, we can begin to redress the uneven development imbalance and create a more inclusive, balanced national development path.' The Department of Land Reform and Rural Development said it knew the strength, resilience and untapped potential in the rural space. 'We are investing in skills, from agriculture to engineering, technology and rural industrialisation, from new venture creation to economic and social infrastructure development, to name but a few, so that youth become the drivers of rural transformation.'

Bogus police make off with R10 000 after robbing man at gun-point in Silverton
Bogus police make off with R10 000 after robbing man at gun-point in Silverton A 58-year-old is recovering from a terrifying ordeal after being abducted and robbed at gunpoint near Silverton Mall recently, allegedly by two bogus police officers. He was robbed of R10 000. The victim, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of further victimisation, described it as the worst day of his life. The incident occurred after he had left the Silverton Mall on De Boulevard Street. According to the victim, he had withdrawn R300 from an ATM after purchasing a cellphone and was on his way to visit his sister when a white Volkswagen GTI pulled up beside him. 'Two men got out, identified themselves as police officers, and showed me what looked like an appointment certificate with a photo of a police official,' he explained. 'After seeing that, I let my guard down, thinking they were real officers.' He said the suspects showed him a disturbing image on a cellphone, people lying in pools of blood and accused him of being involved in a shooting. 'They claimed I matched the description of the shooter and insisted on taking me to the police station.' He said he was terrified. 'I have never touched a firearm in my life. I didn't understand what was happening,' he said. He said that when he hesitated, the men forced him into the car, drove off, and began interrogating him. One of them pulled out a gun, demanded his bank card and PIN, and threatened his life. 'I begged them not to hurt me. I told them I'm a father and the only breadwinner for my two daughters,' the man said. 'My heart was pounding, I felt helpless, and I feared I would never see my family again.' The suspects drove around with the victim before dropping him off on Keuning Drive. He said before they let him go, they removed the SIM card from his phone to prevent him from receiving banking notifications. 'I discovered that over R10 000 had been stolen from my account.' He said they used his card to purchase liquor worth R6 000 and withdrew R4 000 in cash from an ATM. Additional transactions were also made at a pharmacy. 'That money was for my family. I do casual work to survive. I don't know how we are going to make it now, but I thank God I'm still alive,' he said. The victim said he felt an overwhelming sense of fear and helplessness. 'My heart was pumping so fast and I was filled with uncertainty about what might happen next. I desperately tried to stay calm while fearing for my life and the thought that I might never see my loved ones again hit me hard. 'This fear and trauma will stay with me long after. I am constantly anxious.' He said he went to Silverton Police Station to open a case. Liezel Moller from the Community Policing Sub-forum said the victim's brother-in-law notified them about the incident. Moller said an increase in cases of bogus police operating in Silverton have been reported of late. She warned residents to be cautious and alert at all times to avoid falling victim to this crime. 'He only knew of the transactions after getting a taxi to go back to the bank.' She said the brother-in-law and wife took the victim to the liquor shop, where they were able to identify one of the robbers on video footage. 'They were also able to identify the robber in video footage at a Meyerspark business centre.' Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Marinda Austin said the police in Silverton are investigating a case of armed robbery. She confirmed that the police are aware of bogus police officers operating in Silverton and warned residents to be cautious. She said the police are waiting for the footage of the suspect from the complainant's sister. Austin urged residents to remain vigilant and always ask for official police identification. 'A genuine police ID will include a photograph of the officer, along with their initials, surname, and the SAPS star in the font. On the back of the card, you should see the Appointment Certificate under Section 30 of Act 68 of 1995, displaying the officer's ID number, rank, date of appointment, and a signature from the National Commissioner.' She said it is also important to look at the police uniform, which must include a name badge, the police star, and the rank of the officer. 'Detectives may be dressed in civilian clothes, which makes the police ID card especially crucial in confirming their identity,' she explained. She said every legitimate police official is issued a Persal number – a unique personnel number assigned by SAPS. 'You have the right to ask for this number,' she said. 'Be cautious of imposters, as fake police officers may only wear parts of the uniform or try to intimidate you.' Austin said residents should also verify which police station the officer is from. 'If approached by police in an unmarked vehicle, they are still required to show their ID, act professionally, and identify themselves upon request. You can ask to go to a public place or even to the police station to ensure your safety.' She advised that real police officers will never demand money, act aggressively or refuse to identify themselves. 'As a member of the public, you have every right to ask any police official for proper identification.' Do you have more information about the story?
