Johannesburg - Disgraced former Home Affairs minister Malusi Gigaba has lost the bid to block the airing of an episode of his former wife, Nomachule "Norma" Gigaba from sharing details of their failed marriage on Showmax's reality TV show Untied. 

Untied is hosted by TV and radio personality Relebogile Mabotja. 

The show is said to explore the deeply personal and often complex experience of divorce, told through the voices of women who have lived it.

“We welcome the court’s decision to dismiss the interdict application brought by Mr. Malusi Gigaba regarding the airing of the Showmax episode of Untied featuring Ms. Norma Mngoma. 

"We remain committed to responsible storytelling and respect for the legal process," said Multichoice.

According to The Citizen, the airing of the episode was temporarily halted by the former minister out of fear that his ex-wife would speak out on his alleged infidelity during their marriage, his addiction to adult content and the misuse of public funds.
