Wife’s lavish lifestyle questioned in court

The Mercury

|

June 11, 2025

AN ELDERLY woman who is in the process of divorcing her husband has been advised by the court to tighten her belt, as she can no longer maintain the lavish lifestyle she has grown accustomed to since their separation.

- ZELDA VENTER

In her quest for financial support, she turned to the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg, seeking an increase in the monthly maintenance her husband is currently providing her during the divorce proceedings.

Apart from the nearly R54 000 a month she is demanding from him, she also insisted that he pay all her other expenses, such as her gym membership and furnishing her new home.

The husband said his company mostly paid for her luxuries in the past, but the now cash-strapped company had been sold, and the money had dried up.

He suggested that the wife curb her expenses and tone down her lavish spending, which the court agreed with.

Transforming Trump's G20 snub into a strategic advantage for South Africa

THE announcement by US President Donald Trump that South Africa will be “uninvited” from the 2026 G20 Summit is, at face value, a diplomatic provocation. But beneath the headlines lies a far more consequential opportunity: the chance for South Africa - with its business leadership at the forefront - to redefine its global narrative, champion multilateralism and strengthen its position as a bridge between the West and the Global South.
