Hawks to hand over Norma Gigaba’s case to the police
The Hawks will hand over the case involving Norma Gigaba to police after she appears in court on Monday.
Questions are being asked about why the elite unit would investigate matters like assault and malicious damage to property.
The case has been brought by her husband Malusi Gigaba and another man but it appears there is a lot more to this than meets the eye.
Hawks insiders have confirmed Norma Gigaba is being investigated for allegedly conspiring to murder her husband but the unit’s spokesperson won’t confirm this.
He only says the recently opened malicious damage to property and assault case will be handed over to a police detective after Norma’s court appearance.
However, this does explain why the unit initially handled these relatively minor charges.
It follows a video that emerged some days ago, showing a Mercedes Benz G-class which has been badly damaged.
Norma allegedly scratched the luxury SUV.
The vehicle belongs to Malusi’s friend, Peterson Siyaya.
It was posted on his Instagram account as far back as 2018.
Siyaya is also a complainant in the case against Norma.
But who is Peterson Siyaya?
He appears to be a National Union of Mineworkers member – who had previously been arrested and later released on charges related to the murder of AMCU members in the North West.
There is very little public information about Siyaya – other than his Instagram account.
It appears he and the former ministers are longtime friends and ANC comrades.
Just days before his car was damaged, Siyaya posted a picture of himself with his friend.
He commented – “I would rather walk with a friend in the dark than alone in the dark.”
It’s not yet known how Siyaya fits into the Gigabas’ marital problems. Neither Siyaya nor the Gigabas could be reached for comment.
