Her husband, the former Finance Minister, Malusi Gigaba laid criminal charges against his wife.

Nkwashu says his client did not consent to the seizure of her devices which have since been released.

“They were ready by Monday, however, due to other commitments we were unable to collect them. They wanted to investigate all these four devices [that] were taken before her arrest. We have not been given copies of the docket and she was not shown any warrant of search and seizure or shown any warrant of taking those items,” explains Nkwashu.

On Monday, Gigaba’s case was postponed to September 14 in the Hatfield Magistrate’s Court in Pretoria.
