Zondo Inquiry heats up

In an unexpected turn of events, Norma Mngoma, the estranged wife of former finance minister, 

Malusi Gigaba has withdrawn from the state capture commission.

Mngoma was expected to take the hotseat at the inquiry and provide details into her husband’s relationship with the Guptas.

Mngoma and Gigaba have been in an acrimonious marriage, for some time now. It culminated in her arrest last year, which she claims was

orchestrated by her estranged husband.  Mngoma’s attorney read out her letter at the commission earlier, detailing her withdrawal.
