Malusi Gigaba’s legal representative argued that Norman Mngoma should not be compelled to give evidence about her husband’s alleged dealings with the Gupta family as she was entitled to uphold her marital privilege. StateCaptureInquiry

Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo has dismissed an application by former finance minister Malusi Gigaba to block his estranged wife, Norma Mngoma, from giving evidence at the State Capture Inquiry.

Solomon said that Mngoma should not be compelled to give evidence about her husband's alleged dealings with the Gupta family as she was entitled to uphold her marital privilege. Zondo asked Solomon if he was telling the commission to refuse to hear evidence that may relate to state capture from a person willing to give that evidence?

He also told the commission that judging by Mngoma’s decision to withdraw her evidence, compelling her to appear may result in her delivering"vindictively motivated" evidence.Solomon also cited that Mngoma’s evidence may be personal and negatively affect the two younger children that the couple share as well as their divorce proceedings.
