.This weekend, former Minister of Finance, Malusi Gigaba is said to have paid lobola for his new love, Nomfundo Fakudze from ekwaManzini in eSwatini.
According to Zimoja, Malusi is set to get married for the third time and you know what they say…third time is a charm. So maybe this time it will work out.
The 51-year-old politician, who has also held office as the Minister of Public Enterprise, has several publications buzzing.
As hearsay reports that Gigaba sent his uncles to the Kingdom of Eswatini in Manzini this past weekend. Which can only mean one thing, he surely is making things official.

MALUSI GIGABA IS SET TO GET MARRIED
Since we don’t have the full details on when the couple will get married, ZAlebs reported in 2021 that the pair were already in a relationship.
After Fakudze had been spotted at the politician’s daughter Lerato Gigaba’s 21st birthday party. And ever since, the former minister has not been able to hide his love for Fakudze.
It’s very evident, as he gushes over her beauty at every chance he gets on her Instagram posts.
What made this relationship obvious was how the couple have also been flirting on the social media app.
Honestly, we stan! The man is not afraid to show his in love and we love love!
In the comments section under one of her posts, Gigaba refers to his fiancée as a “flame” – which she corrects and tells him to add the possessive adjective “my” in the beginning of his compliment.
Malusi is known to have been married twice previously, and this will be his third marriage.
In 2010 he got divorced from his first wife Thabong Nxumalo. After he had allegedly cheated on her with Nomachule “Norma” Gigaba (née Mngoma). Who later became his second wife and now ex-wife.
History repeated itself, Gigaba reportedly also cheated on Norma. After being married in 2014, but had a messy split in 2020. Which resulted in the businesswoman keying his friend’s Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
She was then released on R5 000 bail in July of the same year.

Norma also testified against Gigaba at the Zondo commission in 2021. Alleging that he worked with the Gupta family to capture the state.
Hectic!
