Man Drags Wife Snatcher To Court

A 48-year-old man has dragged his wife’s lover to court on a charge of marriage wrecking. Heart-broken Kirby Setantane hauled his wife’s lover and the woman’s workmate, Molefhi Motlhabe, 37 to court for destroying his marriage.

He told the Block 8 Customary Court president Keineetse Sebele that he heard rumours that his wife was having an affair. He said because he was also suspicious, he decided to spy on her after she moved out of their matrimonial home early this year. A visibly heartbroken Setantane told the court that on July 23, 2014 he went to a Tlokweng house around 8pm after a tip-off that his wife had moved in with a boyfriend (Motlhabe).

“I waited until I saw the two arriving together and entered the house. “As I had brought my camera along with me, I shot a few pictures. I later decided to seek help at the nearest police. I told them that I wanted to go and take my wife from her boyfriend’s house and that I intended to take pictures of them so that I could use as evidence.
