Norma Gigaba happy that Malusi now spends more time at home

She says he was hardly at home in the past eight years and now appreciates waking up next to him every morning.


Norma Gigaba has written a lengthy note appreciating her husband, Malusi. She also showed us a side of Gigaba that we did not know – that he is a “man of few words”.

Norma appreciated her husband for the love he showed his family.

She said: “You always stretch yourself and make huge sacrifices for us and we are forever grateful.”

Norma said it was also “fantastic” that her husband had been spending more time at home since his resignation as home affairs minister a few weeks ago.

“Nothing is so sweeter than having breakfast and dinner with you, watching TV, and sharing jokes with you and our kids. Seeing our kids so happy like this is so priceless, the past eight years you were hardly at home because of your hectic work schedule, waking up next to you is an indescribable feeling.

“Your presence on its own among us is everything. You are our early Christmas gift, having conversations with you and kids without you rushing anywhere is just precious. I love loving you and just know we appreciate you. I know that there is a lot on your plate at the moment but take this time and focus on raising our kids with dignity and strengthening our love, the rest will follow. I’m here for you always… for better for worse.”

#MCM❤️… goes to my dark ???? / my hubbisto / my chief bae and man of few words???? @malusi_gigaba . Together, we’re making our own rules and setting out our own standards. One thing you are good at and no one will take it away from you is the love you have for us as your family. You always stretch yourself and make huge sacrifices for us and we are forever grateful. Our focus is always on what holds us together than what tears us apart. We are just 2 imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other. We stand by each other on good days and even closer on bad days. I draw strength from God and your unconditional love. You always give me support and let me be. Having you around at home these past few weeks has been so fantastic, nothing is so sweeter than having breakfast and dinner with you, watching tv and sharing jokes with you and our kids. Seeing our kids so happy like this is so priceless, the past 8 years you were hardly at home because of your hectic work schedule, waking up next to you is an indescribable feeling. Your presence on its own among us is everything. You are our early Christmas gift, having conversations with you and kids without you rushing anywhere is just precious. I love loving you and just know we appreciate you. I know that there is a lot on your plate at the moment but take this time and focus on raising our kids with dignity and strengthening our love, the rest will follow. I’m here for you always ✊????❤️ ..for better for worse ????❤️

A post shared by Norma Gigaba???????? (@norma.gigaba) on

Malusi was recently hit with a sex tape scandal that eventually led to his resignation.

In a statement, he said he resigned “after a long period of sustained and vitriolic public attacks on my integrity”.

“I wish to state that my resignation is not an admission of guilt on my part.

“The integrity and public standing of the government and the African National Congress of which I am a loyal and proud member is more important than any political office bearer.”
