Once the husband went through with the divorce proceedings after sixteen years of being together, he demanded a few things, including the division of their joint estate and half of her pension fund, which the woman refused.

She also stated that she received very little of the pension he received when he retired. The upset lady also stated that the husband only married her because he wanted her to be her "cash cow" and for her to take care of the children.

The man then countered by saying that he retired due to his failing health. The court also found out that R400 000 from his pension fund was used to pay off any remaining joint debts they had between each other.
