A Mzansi woman had to learn this the hard way after finding out that her husband had been cheating. To make matters worse, the gent has an illegitimate child with another woman.
The solution to the wife’s misery was to go through with a divorce that would eat at her pockets. The ex-husband will benefit from her R1.6 million pension fund.
A woman on TikTok, Mary Janeesq, posted the headline of the failed marriage and captioned it:
“In community of property when I catch you.”

Netizens react to divorce settlement
A relationship expert, Paula Quinsee, told Briefly News that navigating a divorce is messy by any means, and the instinct to lean on family for support and guidance is natural, but it can also cause more harm than good, so it's best to be selective about third-party involvement in decision-making:
“Divorce is a deeply personal experience and journey, and involving family in decision-making can complicate their own clarity. Family members may mean well, but their perspectives may be biased, clouding your ability to prioritise what’s best for you by imposing their own ideals on you. Hence, it’s best to try and define your own needs and boundaries first before seeking input from others.
“Family members naturally want what is best for us, and they mean well but will naturally have an emotionally charged perspective on your partner or marriage, making their advice less objective. A therapist or neutral party can provide perspective without the emotional dilemma, helping you make decisions based on personal growth and practical considerations.
“There is no harm in leaning on family members for emotional support without letting them take control of decisions only you can make. It’s important to remind them to respect your autonomy by sharing what you need in terms of support, as this can empower you to make informed decisions for yourself and not ones you may regret later.
“It’s about finding a balance of emotional support with clear boundaries that is best during such a challenging time, allowing you to make decisions that truly align with your own values, goals and needs.”
With the ex-husband being R800K richer, netizens are disgusted that he will get to live happily ever after, after the misery he caused his wife. Mzansi had all kinds of ideas to make the man’s life a living hell and mentioned a couple in the comments of the post:
@Bongiwe Ndhlovu laid things bare:
"I’d visit Maweni same day."
@Shai Blessing🇿🇦 does not aspire to get married:
"I have worked so hard for my assets I'm never getting married, I'll just jol he proposes I reject it and we move."
@Phumla Unothando Bhengu would not bear this kind of settlement:
"I'd cry 40 days and 40 nights."
@Bhongale explained that:
"Prenuptial agreements might not be romantic but it's better to enter a marriage (preparing for a divorce), then to go through a divorce unprepared, and oh yes, a win for the gents."
Briefly News also reported that a woman on TikTok told Mzansi her bizarre story of being cheated on by her "knight in shining armour". Khaya Sibindi amazed netizens with what she tolerated after her fiancé cheated on her with an 18-year-old girl.
Sibindi recorded a four-part series on TikTok to tell her bizarre story properly.
