He's in the hot seat this afternoon at the State Capture Inquiry.


Norma has made several appearances before the commission, testifying about her husband's alleged dealings with the Gupta brothers.


On Thursday night, she told the hearings that Malusi's meetings with the Guptas became more frequent when he was appointed Public Enterprises minister - adding Malusi had referred to the brothers as his advisors.

Malusi has told the commission this afternoon that Noma has made false claims.


"I am a bit conflicted here. Let me declare, I want to deal with she testified here - the extensive lies, the inaccuracies and the fabrications.  


Malusi maintains that he does not have a close relationship with the Gupta family. 


He says Norma lied to the commission last night when she said she had accompanied him on visits to the Guptas' home at least 20 times...


"It was not more than 20 times as she claims. It would better the question, how did she arrive at that calculation given that the instances she refers to at which she claims she was present do not even amount to more than two or three times."
