Norma Mngoma has written a message on social media, declaring that she forgives former finance minister Malusi Gigaba.
Mngoma, Gigaba’s estranged wife, on Thursday went on her Instagram and posted a photo of herself with a mask on, which she said she took last month in court.
She was arrested after being accused of damaging a Mercedes-Benz G Wagon that is owned by Gigaba’s friend, a local publication reported.
She was charged with various damages to property and crimen injuria.
Last month, the charges were withdrawn, with the National Prosecuting Authority mentioning the decision to reinstate the case would depend on her representations.
In the three-part public post on her verified account on Thursday, she explained the events of the day when the Hawks arrested her in July last year.
“On that night, it was too cold & I was sharing a cell with other 2 ladies they slept early, and I was in disbelief that I was there. I was still trying to figure it out how do I sleep on the cold small mattress on the floor, toilet is here and shower with a bar of soap and cold water in winter, and all of us were sharing that, I was even scared to go pee in front of strangers damn that was a small hell…(sic)” she says in the post.
Mngoma also gave information on how she was hungry while in the cell and had even asked Gigaba to bring her socks, a blanket and food and he did. But the food and blanket were not allowed.
“I said thank you & I told him to be strong & tell the boys that I was doing school work with a friend, I wanted to be strong for him, I assured him I was gonna be okay, in the morning he came, but he was not allowed to see me, my Lawyer came around 11, he pulled all the strings with my friend finally the hawks were forced to bring back the docket & I was granted a bail… (sic)” “I got the shock of my life that my ex husband is the one who got me arrested.”
Mngoma stated that all her questions about the event are still not answered.
