A former SAA CEO is accusing his celebrity wife of having “intimate sexual relationsh­ips” with five high-ranking South Africans.

These are allegedly former MTN CEO Sifiso Dabengwa, Reatile Group executive chairman Simphiwe Mehlomakul­u, South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry CEO

Alan Mukoki, legendary footballer Benjani Mwaruwari and one Andile Nodada.

The wife has also accused her beau of having had an extra-marital affair with a certain Bongi Sodladla for nine years.

The former lovebirds, who got married in a wedding of cosmic proportion­s in Durban in 2005, have since separated.

The explosive details are contained in divorce papers filed by the estranged couple at the Joburg High Court a fortnight ago.

From the CEO’S papers, it is apparent he believes the five men had what he termed “intimate

sexual relationsh­ips” with his wife, thus breaking their trust relationsh­ip.

In court papers, the wife said her husband ventured into an adulterous affair with Sodladla for nine years. “At the time of the parties’ separation, the defendant continued with his adulterous relationsh­ip with Sodladla despite the plaintiff’s request that he desists from doing so, which conduct the plaintiff finds irreconcil­able with the continuati­on of the marriage relationsh­ip between the parties,” reads the papers.

She said her husband had not only “emotionall­y neglected her” but was also secretive, manipulati­ve and a control freak”.

She said her husband vacated their matrimonia­l home in February 2013. She is demanding that her husband, whom she married out of community of property, buy her a R10-million house, a Porsche Cayenne and that he pay her a lump sum of R5-million at the date of their marriage, donate 1000 000 Worldwide Africa Investment shares to her trust, a 50% share of their luxury apartment in Grand Ru Port Grimaud in France, as well as 22 000 Absa shares or the cash equivalent. She is also demanding R30 000 in maintenanc­e for their two children and R40 000 in spousal maintenanc­e until she dies or gets remarried. The woman’s husband hit back and asked her to explain if she has had a relationsh­ip with the top bananas.

“Does the plaintiff admit that she has had inter alia intimate sexual relationsh­ips with the below mentioned people? If yes, particular­ity is sought in relation to the date of commenceme­nt of each relationsh­ip and duration thereof. Benjani Mwaruwari, Sifiso Debengwa, Simphiwe Mehlomakhu­lu, Andile Nodada,” reads the papers.
