Former finance minister Malusi Gigaba‘s wife, Norma, has threatened urgent legal action against the Hawks if they fail to return her phones and devices, seized nearly two weeks ago as part of a criminal investigation into allegedly insulting text messages she had sent to an unidentified man, by 17:00 today.

Norma Gigaba‘s lawyer has revealed in a letter to Hawks head Lieutenant-General Godfrey Lebeya that she “did not consent to the seizure and your members possessed no warrant authorizing them to search and seize these items”.

The Hawks appear to have caved in to Norma Gigaba’s demand that her devices be returned to her, despite weekend media reports suggesting that the devices had been seized as part of the unit’s investigation into alleged threats made against Malusi Gigaba’s life.

The case against Norma, on charges of malicious damage to property and crimen injuria, has been postponed to September 14.

As the incident sparked debate on social media, Sonia took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the matter. She said that while Norma’s actions may not make sense to most people, she understood where she was coming from.

“It may not make sense to some, but it makes sense to us. When I say ‘us’, I’m talking to and about women who have been through the most! Women who have had to appear sane to those who’ve never been tested nor tried!”

“Listen I’m not condoning anyone, anything or any behaviour. But I know I had to stand on my own when all I needed and wanted was for someone to ‘see me’! Not only my struggles or my faults, but also my pain,” she said.

For the first time in a long time most Africans agree that an American production came through with the correct representation of black Africans, and it was South African talent that told the bulk of that narrative is the cherry on top!

Black Is King, a film by Beyoncé, finally aired at the weekend and the excitement was almost suffocating. While there was never any doubt that the project would be a marvel to watch, here at home we were waiting to see our very own stars shine.

After weeks of watching snippets and only getting hints of who bagged a role in the visual album, Mzansi was super proud to finally watch Connie Chiume, Nyaniso Dzedze, Moonchild, Busiswa, Nandi Madida, Warren Masemola and Mary Twala in action alongside Bey.

The amount of regal vibes the film gave off was truly unmatched. As per Beyoncé’s hopes, the film told a reimagined story of The Lion King but, unlike the fictitious Wakanda of Black Panther fame, the black excellence shown in this project is real and that is why the film got a thumbs up from most Africans.

Nyaniso and Nandi, who brought to life the characters of the older Simba and Nala, and Warren, who played the villain and channelled his inner Scar, did an amazing job. Actress Nambitha Ben-Mazwi got her chance, looking fine and proud in her blackness.
