Showmax’s ‘Untied’ episode with Noma Mngoma is set to air after court ruling
The Star
|July 14, 2025
MARK your calendars as Showmax’s Untied episode, featuring former Minister Malusi Gigaba’s ex-wife Noma Mgnoma will air tomorrow.
This comes after Gigaba’s application to prevent the airing of the interview was dismissed.
IOL reported that Judge Julian Yende dismissed the former statesman's interdict application to prevent Showmax from airing the episode.
In the application, MultiChoice is cited as the first respondent, while Goat Originals, which produced the show, is the second respondent, and Mngoma is the third.
Gigaba’s legal action came after he received a WhatsApp communication from Vanessa Tloubatla, the executive producer of the show, who wanted to give him the right to reply to allegations that were made against him.
