Wife Deserts Matrimonial Home

Ntwaagae came to court in mining reflector suit after her husband, Christopher Mabina, reported her for deserting her matrimonial home which consists of two minor children, despite a court order of October 13, 2015 which instructed her to return home. After weeks of non-appearance at home, her husband retraced his steps to the judicial offices and she was called to answer for contempt of court. Ntwaagae claimed that her husband was abusive and she could not be forced to stay with him as she has already filed for a divorce through her attorney.

Magistrate Odirile Mokgatle observed that courts of law will be rendered toothless if their orders are taken lightly.
