Joelle Kayembe called a murderour?
Despite the beauty she is now tangled in a bitter court case with her lover Bongani Mbindwane, with whom she was traditionally married to. In SA courts traditional marrieges are not recongised unless registered in law, but since she did not do that with her beau, she could loose a battle where she is demanding him to pay for her house, cellphone contract, credit card and more. And there is no telling if she will get these things, since the man is fighting her tooth-and-nail for her not to get what she wants.
READ from Sunday Times:
Joelle Kayembe, one of South Africa's sexiest women, thought she was the luckiest woman on earth when businessman Bongani Mbindwane proposed. Now - just a year after their traditional wedding ceremony - Mbindwane wants her out of his life and denies they were ever married...
On September 27 last year, Joelle Kayembe ditched her trademark bathing costume for a beautiful blue traditional outfit for a customary marriage to her beau, businessman Bongani Mbindwane. "Bo" slipped a ring on her finger in front of family and friends who had gathered for the ceremony at the Sandton, Johannesburg, home of her family. Just over a year later, the fairytale has been shattered by claims of physical abuse, "murder", sabotage and a pink Salvatore Ferragamo wedding gown torn in shreds. She has filed for divorce, but Mbindwane says there never was a marriage. He has accused her of having "killed" his unborn child, which has left him devastated and in "mourning". Matters came to a head last month when the 35-year-old Cape Town businessman discovered the 26-year-old swimsuit model had terminated a pregnancy. He allegedly slapped her and called her a "murderer" who would "rot in jail". The next day Kayembe went to the High Court in Johannesburg for access to their home in upmarket Sandhurst after Mbindwane, CEO of mining company Platfields Ltd, had changed the locks. He also accused her of splurging on a credit card which was linked to one of his accounts, but she said he could "quite literally purchase a jumbo jet" on the card while she had only a R4000 withdrawal limit and a further R18000 for purchases. She wanted access to an Audi Q5 and several other items, including her modelling portfolio and passport, which she needed to travel to the UK the following day. The order was granted in Mbindwane's absence, but on Wednesday he hit back with an urgent application that is scheduled to return to court later this month. Mbindwane said in an SMS to the Sunday Times: "The matter is in court and let's allow the process to go ahead. In the meantime, I would like space to mourn the untimely ending of my unborn child's life." The fight has been nasty: bruised cheeks, her designer shoes slashed and his Audi R8 damaged after Kayembe bashed a window in a bid to open the boot of the car to retrieve her belongings.
