Malusi Gigaba has responded to his ex-wife Norma Mngoma's Showmax Untied interview, addressing her recent claims.

In July 2025, the former minister trended after his ex-wife compared him to P. Diddy and discussed his business habits.

South Africans also recently congratulated Gigaba when he completed his PhD from the University of Johannesburg.

Gigaba's ex-wife shocked SA when she revealed on Showmax's Untied that her ex-hubby often travelled with baby oil and compared him to US rapper P.Diddy.

"He is responding calmly, yet in his face you can see such cuts deep to him either way it's life. Congratulations on your new achievement Dokothela (doctor) Gigaba."
