Malusi Gigaba loses court bid to block airing of former wife's TV interview
Former home affairs minister Malusi Gigaba's urgent bid to block his ex-wife Nomachule Mngoma's TV interview about their failed marriage, allegations of infidelity and pornography has been struck from the roll. MultiChoice attorney Dario Milo told Sowetan on Wednesday that the matter was thrown out due to a lack of urgency. 'Accumulative costs were awarded against Mr Gigaba. This means that the broadcast can go ahead because he was unable to stop it,' Milo said. In court papers, Gigaba had said his ex-wife's interview on the show will 'taint my good name and dignity that I have been rebuilding from the past years after [divorce]'. However, MultiChoice hit back, saying Mngoma will not be sharing fresh issues as the allegations were already in the public domain. MultiChoice's executive head of legal for general entertainment, Brandon Vermeulen, said Mngoma had a right to speak about her marriage with Gigaba. He said her comments on Showmax's Untied were her personal experiences. 'It is not unlawful, unfair, or unreasonable for MultiChoice to stream the show on which Ms Mngoma speaks about her marriage,' he said. SowetanLIVE

Gigaba interdicts ex-wife Noma to not talk about failed marriage on TV show
Former finance minister Malusi Gigaba has applied to interdict his ex-wife Nomachule Mngoma from going on TV to be interviewed about their failed marriage and allegations of infidelity and pornography. In court papers filed in the Johannesburg high court last week, Gigaba said his ex-wife's interview on Showmax's new show Untied will 'taint my good name and dignity that I have been rebuilding from the past years after [divorce]'. The eight-part talk show, which is hosted by broadcaster Relebogile Mabotja, was supposed to premiere on Tuesday, but according to News24, Gigaba managed to halt the airing of the episode — for now. The urgent application and the episode had been postponed until July 7. The eight women Mabotja will sit down with include Mngoma, Nonku Williams, Palesa Madisakwane, Sonia Booth, Dawn Thandeka King, Zandi Nhlapo, Mona Monyane and Beverley Steyn. Gigaba said since 2018, he had decided to remove himself from the spotlight and rebuild his name. 'In short, the third respondent [Mngoma] has recorded a podcast with the first [MultiChoice] and second [Goat Originals] about my private life, years after we formally separated and ultimately divorced. 'It is important to state that I made a conscious decision to not publicly talk about the third respondent's life after our divorce, for her own integrity and for the integrity of our minor children.'
