If you thought Norma Gigaba was about to respond to the social media storm after her infamous interview on eNCA or to the woman who claims she had an affair with her husband‚ Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba‚ think again.

This isn’t the first time the Gigabas have had to attempt to stand tall during a tornado of criticism after details of the alleged affair between Malusi and a woman who goes by the name of Buhle Mkhize were leaked.

It’s also not the first time Buhle and Norma have publicly sparred.

Should Gigaba's private life have any effect on his political career?While South Africans seldom take into account the personal lives of politicians when it comes to choosing leaders‚ the international community is not so forgiving.  

In 2015 Malusi eventually had to issue a public statement denying the affair and Norma said she would stand by her man.

Private messages between Buhle and Norma were then leaked‚ giving us normal folk a look inside the bitter war of words between them.

But‚ as usual‚ the Gigabas are presenting a united front.

They’re both in Cape Town and sat down for a spot of sushi at the trendy Balducci restaurant.

The Gigabas are presenting a united front after receiving massive backlash after Norma Gigaba’s controversial interview aired on eNCA earlier this week.

Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba’s alleged affair with Buhle Mkhize was again brought into the spotlight after Norma said she doubted the intentions of Buhle when she first decided to speak about the so-called incident back in 2015.

As the couple face mounting pressure‚ Norma took the time to create a collage and spoke about strength.

"When storms come don't be shaken or moved, stand still and fix your eyes to the one who created you and placed you where you are. Above all, rise again, fix your crown and wait in the Lord. He will come in the morning and give you new strength," Norma wrote on instagram.
