The pair split back in 2019 and have not been able to come to a resolution after the husband rejected the R5million settlement offer proposed by his wife. This is despite being a businessman himself, having two children together, and being married out of community of property and subject to the accrual system back in 1999.
According to the divorce papers, the woman filed for divorce because the marriage no longer served its purpose and there was no reasonable prospect of saving it. She also highlighted that she and her estranged husband are now living separately.
The husband, however, argued that the businesswoman was the cause of their marital problems and has rejected his efforts to rekindle their love.
The husband is certainly not taking this matter lightly and has further demanded that he wants the children to live with him and the woman to only have contact with them on weekends and during school holidays.
Talk about a messy breakup! South Africans did not hesitate to weigh in on the matter. Check out some of the comments posted on Facebook:
