Revenge? Elton Jantjies’s wife wants ‘mistress’ sacked – SA reacts

Iva Ristic – the wife of Elton Jantjies – has reportedly sent Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus “proof” of his affair with dietician Zeenat Simjee, in the hopes of getting the latter axed.

The claim was made by Rapport who allege that the national rugby team bosses are considering sending Zeenat home amid their European tour.

This, following player Elton’s confirmation last week to News24 that he did embark on an affair with the Springbok professional, despite her own denial.

Weeks after the affair, Elton has reunited with Iva and their three children at their home in Cyprus.

ELTON JANTJIES’S WIFE SENDS SPRINGBOKS BOSS ‘PROOF‘

According to Rapport, Iva has sent “proof” of the affair to Rassie Erasmus – in the form of screenshots of text messages.

Iva claims the texts alleged that Elton’s affair with Zeenat Simjee has been ongoing throughout various team matches.

One of the screenshots includes a reservation for a romantic boat side at the Sydney Harbour – allegedly before the Springboks vs Australia test match on 3 September.

Others show hotel and flight bookings for two. But things get more sensational; the publication claims that in one of the messages, Zeenat tells Elton to “divorce” Iva, whom she describes as a “horrible woman”.

Allegations of an affair between Elton and Zeenat first came to light when the former ran up a high hotel bill in Mbombela, complete with flowers and expensive champagne for his “side chick”.

Witnesses identified the flyhalf and Zeenat together.

And according to Rapport, Rassie was “shocked” at the “evidence” presented.

Last week, Zeenat met with South Africa Rugby president Mark Alexander and chief executive officer Jurie Roux at the Springboks team hotel in Toulon on Wednesday.

And on the agenda was the possibility that she may have to return home mid-tour. This, amid the public backlash of the cheating scandal.

A decision has yet to be made public.
