Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba made headlines again this week, but for all the wrong reasons.
An interview with his wife Norma had US-based fashionista Buhle Mkhize spewing venom all over social media.
Mhkize, the woman who Gigaba had allegedly cheated with, appeared to have created a new Twitter account on Tuesday to hit back at Norma.
Mhkize appeared die moer in that Norma had seemingly referred or implied she was a prostitute in an interview with eNCA at the weekend.
Mkhize also questioned if Norma was an "IT specialist", tweeting that the former Minister of Home Affairs had once told her that she in fact had no degree and suggested she had only certificate studies in IT.

It didn't take long for Twitter to notice an angry bird tweeting and joined the conversation, offering all sorts of advice, opinions and of course — humour.
Mkhize soon started trending, but she hastily dismissed those on social media who said she was speaking out because she was angry that Gigaba had chosen Norma over her. She suggested Norma, would rather die than leave Gigaba.
I also accept the nation's..' Buhle never had/ doesn't have a man of her own'. I'm done unless Homonaledi goes for more screen time. Thanks pic.twitter.com/7gTSlVzY8h
