The interview shone a light on her tumultuous marriage to former minister Malusi Gigaba, and she made a few explosive revelations about her ex-husband. One of the things she said was that he behaved like US rapper P Diddy.

However, a viewer took a video from the interview, in which she was exposing Norma's supposed lie during the show. In the clip, Norma tried to explain why she did not believe Malusi when he said that his phone had been tapped. Mabotja then pointed out that Mngoma is in the IT industry.
