ELTON JANTJIES’S EX: ‘EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON’

In August, allegations of an affair between Elton Jantjies and Zeenat SImjee made headlines while the duo were on a Springboks tour abroad. After initially denying the rumours, the flyhalf came clean about his extra-marital romantic relationship a month later.

Last month, a source told  You Magazine that Elton admitted to beginning his affair with Zeenat Simjee in 2019 – the year he wed Iva Ristic. Zeenat Simjee continues to deny the reports and claims the whole debacle is a case of “mistaken identity.”
